I looked at the direct (apt-cache rdepends python-twisted | tail -n +3)
and once removed (apt-cache rdepends python-twisted | tail -n +3 | xargs
-iF bash -c 'apt-cache rdepends F | tail -n +3' | sort | uniq)
dependencies of python-twisted.
One package refers to connectUDP, flumotion. It doesn't appear to
actually use it, though; instead it seems to be monkey-patching it to
correct a documentation issue. I don't think the removal will break
this package, but it may result in flumotion-generated Twisted docs
which include connectUDP, even though it no longer exists.
