This is not needed. gnulib-tool by default ignores dependencies to obsolete
modules already.

$ ./gnulib-tool --help
...
      --with-obsolete       Include obsolete modules when they occur among the
                            dependencies. By default, dependencies to obsolete
                            modules are ignored.
...

Your patch causes missing dependencies when people voluntarily use the
--with-obsolete option.
