Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

as part of the broader effort to remove GTK 2 from the archiveĀ¹,
we (pkg-perl team) would like to remove this package.

It has been effectively unmaintained in Debian since 3+ years
and orphaned in March 2018.

Upstream is the same person who was previously maintaining this
package in Debian and the upstream home page [2] suggests no recent
activity; the "SVN" and "Download" links lead nowhere useful.

So I have extremely little hope that this piece of software is ever
ported away from GTK 2.
