src:pygtksourceview is a deprecated Python binding for
libgtksourceview2.0-0, which is already in oldlibs. The maintained
replacement is to use gir1.2-gtksource-3.0 via GObject-Introspection.
As announced in [1] and [2] the GNOME team do not intend to release this
package in buster. However, it cannot yet be removed because cherrytree
and liblunar still depend on it. Please move it to oldlibs for now.
(I realise this should have been requested years ago - I'm trying to
catch up with all the GNOME-2-related oldlibs now, so that it'll be
clearer to our users what is and isn't deprecated.)
