Since a package cannot be forced to depend on all indirect
dependencies, I'd vouch for removing this check. exim4 is also plagued
by this, and will have a override added.
Rationale:
* on a live system, indirect dependcies are forced to be installed
via the dependency system. This is a vital part of our distribution
and we should be able to rely on that mechanism.
* If a dependency's dependencies change, I don't need to change
anything if I rely on indirect dependencies. If I have to explicitly
list all indirect dependencies, breakage will occur.
