Thanks Corinna.
Do you think we should edit the setup.hints of packages that call for
one or more of the old packages to now require coreutils directly? I
realize the dummy packages in ZZZRemovedPackages already accomplish this
indirectly at the moment... but surely one day we would be better off
with no reference to old packages, no?
