The hardcoded dependency was added for Debian bug #914263 to work around an
issue in libmspack0.  It's probably been long enough that it's no longer
needed and can be removed.

As libmspack0t64 breaks libmspack0 they can't be installed together.

This is likely caused by hardcoding a dependency on libmspack0 in
debian/control:
