Widen transitional/dummy package description blacklist

Browse source 
Add 'dummy package' and 'dependency package', the other phrases the
Debian Developer's Reference (6.9.7) documents as convention and that
deborphan --guess-dummy looks for. Deliberately skip bare 'dummy' and
'empty package': both have real false positives in production data
(xserver-xorg-video-dummy, a bridge card 'double dummy solver'
library, python3-roscreate's 'empty package template creator').

Verified against production data: 266 combined matches, still zero
with screenshots.
