Public bug reported:

This is a package removal request.

See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1129537.

streamtuner2 has not received any upstream code work since 2022, and has
several issues that block it in Debian Testing, including:

 - python incompatibilities 
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1120496)
 - No removals of pygtkcompat despite pygobject removing it (RC level issue - 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1094922)
 - Invalid inbuilt URLs 
(https://askubuntu.com/questions/1564504/alternative-or-fix-for-streamtuner2)

Most important, the software is orphaned upstream.

There are dozens of browser-based solutions that work as an alternative
even if they arent dedicated programs.

However, given the severity of the issues with this, regardless of what
Debian does, I feel this should be removed from Ubuntu (and no longer
synced).  Especially with 26.04 upcoming, this is a good time to remove
bad/broken software.

** Affects: streamtuner2 (Ubuntu)
