GTK+-2-only themes do not seem particularly useful now that the only
supported web browsers in Debian (Firefox and Chromium) have switched
to GTK+ 3, making it impractical to run a Debian desktop system without
GTK+ 3.

(See also <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=885211> and
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=897434>.)

This theme hasn't had an upstream release since 2007 and hasn't had
activity in Debian since 2010, so it seems highly unlikely that it will
be updated for GTK+ 3. Should it be removed from Debian?

If so, please reassign this bug to the archive administrators with
control commands similar to these:

Control: severity xxxxxx normal
Control: reassign xxxxxx ftp.debian.org
Control: retitle xxxxxx RM: gtk2-engines-cleanice -- RoQA; obsolete, doesn't 
support gtk3

(Replace RoQA with RoM if you are the maintainer.)

Conversely, if you think this package should remain in Debian, please
close this bug. This would likely involve becoming its de facto upstream
maintainer.

dak does not find any dependencies that would be broken by removing this.

Thanks,
