Dear maintainers,

I would like to remove python-gdata from Debian Buster because it is
dead upstream, had no upstream release since 2013, and has security
issues.

More specifically, it bundles an ancient version of tlslite, which
has known vulnerabilities: at least CVE-2014-3566, CVE-2013-0169 and
CVE-2011-3389. Newer version of tlslite has been removed from Debian
in 2014, so I cannot even unbundle it.

I intend to NMU weboob, removing the unused recommendation, and bump
severities of the remaining bugs to release critical. I will bump
the severities after November 1st, 2018.
