[Bug 1050071] [NEW] [FFe] Remove Computer Janitor from the archive

[Barry Warsaw]

Public bug reported:

The binary packages computer-janitor and computer-janitor-gtk should be
removed from Quantal.  Nothing reverse-depends on build-deps on them,
and the source package is broken beyond reasonable repair.  It is a
Python 2 application that incestuously depends on bits from Update
Manager, which is a Python 3 application (and library).  As bug #1035869
shows, CJ is completely broken, but worse than that, it is not worth
fixing.  Most of us have long considered CJ potentially dangerous and a
bad idea.  If anything, cleaning up your system should be subsumed by UM
or Software Center.
