Description:

The reason listed for the git optional dependency perl-term-readkey is "git svn", but that dependency is also needed for the interactive.singlekey feature that can be enabled using git config. It's low-priority, but it would be nice to see interactive.singlekey added to the explanation for the optional dependency perl-term-readkey.

Additional info:
* affects package versions through 2.17.1-1
* only affects interactive.singlekey feature, which can be enabled using `git config interactive.singlekey true`

Steps to reproduce:

0. install git
1. ensure perl-term-readkey is not installed
2. clone a repository
3. `git config interactive.singlekey true`
4. make a change
5. `git add --patch`
6. see that Return is required when choosing whether to add a hunk
7. install perl-term-readkey
8. `git add --patch`
9. see that Return is no longer required
This task depends upon
