The dependency was introduced because grml uses the font as default
now.

But there's no reason to remove the package at all because it's
possible to deactivate the font anyway. In live-cd mode you can use
the 'nodefaultfont' bootoption (as stated in Release Notes of grml
0.8). On your hd-installation setting the consolefont can be done
also via $CONSOLEFONT in /etc/grml/autoconfig. Just set it to a font
you like, if you notice any problems feel free to drop me a note.
