libmtp5 is not a candidate for autoremove via apt-get, but that may also be
from poking that i did before doing the bugreport.

looks like that information is lost into the sands of time. i'm going to
go with a hypothesis along the lines of:
* long long ago i installed some package/metapackage that brought it in.
* later on that/those packages were updated for a new libmtp8
* nothing ever removed libmtp5 from the system
* the library/configfile/symlink combination didn't consider older libmtp's.
