Package: redshift-gtk
Version: 1.10-5
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

Please consider to drop python-gtk2 dependency from redshift-gtk. PyGTK2
is not longer used as a python GTK+ binding in redshift-gtk since the
upstream commit b436a6cd8ecee8a15686f3da92f2c66d0b4aa8af [1] where it
was migrated to the new GObject Introspection (GI) binding mechanism
[2][3].

Also note that python-gtk2 nowadays is a deprecated package. Dropping
the already settled dependency facilitates the future transition to
python-gi/python3-gi.
