libglade was deprecated in 2009 in favour of the then-new GtkBuilder
feature in GTK+ 2.12, and should not be used in new code. Please move
it and its various language bindings to the oldlibs section.

libglade2.0-cil-dev:oldlibs/optional

libglademm-2.4-1v5:oldlibs/optional

libgtk2-gladexml-simple-perl:oldlibs/optional
libgtkdatabox-0.9.3-0-libglade:oldlibs/optional
python-glade2:oldlibs/optional

There is currently no plan to remove libglade from unstable before buster,
but libglademm is less-used and will hopefully not be shipped in buster.

Please note that src:glade, including libgladeui, is not deprecated. It
used to be a GUI for libglade, but is now a GUI for GtkBuilder, which is
the maintained replacement for libglade.

Thanks,
