[Bug 1739800] Re: Please remove gnome-python from Ubuntu

[Bryan Quigley]

Removed pyrenamer ghextris and xtile as they look to have been removed
earlier. Refreshed reverse-depends.

** No longer affects: ghextris (Ubuntu)

** No longer affects: pyrenamer (Ubuntu)

** No longer affects: x-tile (Ubuntu)

** Description changed:

  gnome-python and pyorbit have been removed from Debian Testing because
  it is an old GNOME2 library that hasn't been maintained in years. It
  will take some time for those packages to be removed from Debian
  Unstable, but I don't think we should ship gnome-python in Ubuntu 18.04
  LTS.
  
  I am filing this bug now in particular to provide early notice for the Ubuntu-specific package gnome-activity-journal which was abandoned upstream years ago.
  https://code.launchpad.net/~gnome-zeitgeist/gnome-activity-journal/trunk
  
  This bug depends on LP: #1739797 (removal of gnome-python-desktop).
  (Therefore, I am not adding tasks here for packages on that list.)
