Bug#886068: gtk-theme-config: raising severity of gconf dependency bug
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA384 Howdy, As Simon indicated, gtk-theme-config won't really function properly anytime in the near future and has been removed from Xubuntu's seed. So as maintainer of the package I would gladly accept your offer to file the removal bug. Thank you for offering.

Bug#886068: gtk-theme-config: raising severity of gconf dependency bug
Hi Jeremy, I've worked a little on gtk-theme-config after seeing the Debian bug for the first time (plus it's actually utterly broken with modern Gtk+3 versions) and to be honest I don't see how it could work with the way themes are set up these days with sass and resource files. (E.g. changing the selected-bg-color, which was one of the most prominent features, is practically impossible to "get right"/consistent results with multiple themes.) So we will likely drop it from Xubuntu 18.04 and it will become deprecated. I guess Debian should drop it too, can't imagine anyone still uses it for anything (only the Gtk2 parts still work ok).

Control: severity -1 serious As announced [1], we are working to remove gconf from Debian. As part of this process, I am now raising the severity of this bug. Please try to port your package away from gconf. Otherwise, please consider requesting that your package be removed from Debian to help us complete this goal.
