Control: severity -1 serious I believe Debian Policy § 2.2.1 forbids a package in main having a direct Depends or Recommends on packages that have been removed from Debian. [1] I have filed a removal bug [2] for freerdp2 noting that it is a security-sensitive library and I expect it to be removed from Debian soon. Michael Tokarev suggested it may be more appropriate for education-desktop-other to completely remove its freerdp dependency since it is not directly used. gnome-core for instance depends on gnome-connections, an app that could be used to connect to a desktop using GNOME's built in RDP-power remote desktop solution.
