[Xml2hostconf-users] old dependencies are not automatically uninstalled

[Erik <eri...@ho...>]

If you generate a newer version of a rpm package where the
newer version dropped one of its dependencies, the package that
is not a dependency anymore will not automatically get uninstalled when
you do a "apt-get dist-upgrade". After the dist-upgrade there is nothing
blocking you from doing a "apt-get remove not_needed_package" though.

I haven't checked if it's the same situation for yum.
