Please drop the unused dependency on python-glade2.

We are working to remove pygtk from Debian.

Thanks,

pygtk is unmaintained upstream. It has not had a release since GNOME 3
was released in 2011.

The way forward is to port your app to use GObject Introspection
bindings (and gtk3).

For more information on GObject Introspection see [1] and [2].

Please try to do this before the Buster release as we're going to
try to remove pygtk this cycle.

In this particular case, I am guessing that radiotray's dependency on
python-glade2 can simply be removed since it was probably left over
after the switch to gtk3.

If you have any question don't hesitate to ask.
