Is debfoster needed anymore?

Asked by Ken Sharp

According to http://www.fruit.je/debfoster/

"As of 2006-01-01, debfoster is officially deprecated: aptitude does the same stuff as debfoster but integrated into the apt system"

Is this true? Is debfoster needed anymore? I can understand it *might* be useful in an unusual setup where aptitude and apt is not needed, but is this ever the case?

According to popcon a whopping 71 people used it recently.

Maybe I have answered my own question.
