coreutils does need the dpkg dependency, as part of the install-info
transition or upgrades could slightly break the system, nothing grave
though.

But dpkg does not really need the versioned coreutils any longer,
that's part of an old transition, even oldstable has coreutils 6.10-6.
So I'll remove that one.
