Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer(s),

after an upgrade from Stretch to Buster, I've found the following
transitional dummy packages not to be transitional in the sense
of "can just be removed", instead, removal of each of them
independently would remove a whole bunch of other development packages
(X11, Qt5 and GTK+, mainly):

ii  x11proto-composite-dev   1:2018.4-4   all  transitional dummy package
ii  x11proto-core-dev        2018.4-4     all  transitional dummy package
ii  x11proto-damage-dev      1:2018.4-4   all  transitional dummy package
ii  x11proto-fixes-dev       1:2018.4-4   all  transitional dummy package
ii  x11proto-input-dev       2018.4-4     all  transitional dummy package
ii  x11proto-randr-dev       2018.4-4     all  transitional dummy package
ii  x11proto-xext-dev        2018.4-4     all  transitional dummy package
ii  x11proto-xf86vidmode-dev 2018.4-4     all  transitional dummy package
ii  x11proto-xinerama-dev    2018.4-4     all  transitional dummy package

Expected: each package marked as "transitional dummy package" can
be removed/purged without having other packages depending on it.

Kind regards
