Hi Rock,

Keeping it on unstable like this is not great since there are some
libraries that printrun depends upon that are now outdated/deprecated
and can't be fully removed unless printrun is removed as well. Patching
it just to keep it in unstable will lead to a dead end cause it will
still need pyglet < 2 anyway.

As far as I can see, the only problematic package (aside from Pyglet 1.5) was 
python3-appdir, but that was replaced with python3-platformdirs in printrun 
2.2.0 anyway.

Consequently, I do understand the argument about users expecting pronterface to 
be part of the suite, but I don't think it would be too much trouble to only 
package the parts that don't need a GUI.

It saddens me to see this package out of Debian but until upstream fixes
the pyglet issue I don't think it is worth the effort.

That's sad indeed, but since I don't use printrun myself, I don't have a strong 
argument.

In that case, let's initiate removal - or wait until it happens automatically.

Regards,
Gregor
