Basically I'd like to extend its life in Debian and keep users using this package rather than having to build the version themselves, as long as it doesn't become a big burden for Debian -- when it does sure, let's drop it, and if the moment is now, so be it. This package is in a bad situation with Python2 and GTK dependencies, but this is not the kind of application like a media player or similar for which there are a gazillion alternatives with more or less the same features -- this is a pretty specialized piece of software and migration to some other tool can be a huge undertaking and might not always be possible. If the relevant Python2 packages are going to be removed imminently, that's OK, we can remove it now. And in any case, this package should prevent the removal of Python2 if it's one of the last dependencies. But if Python2 it's to be held for a few months/years because other important/popular packages are not migrated yet (gnat-gps, kodi?), and even if only to keep it for unstable, I'd prefer to remove this package only when Python2 is removed. Cheers and thanks for your work. -- Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <manuel.montez...@gmail.com>
