[Bug 1745634] Re: Demote idle to universe

[Jeremy Bicha]

Please try to demote the binaries
idle
idle-python3.6
python3-pil.imagetk

And the binaries and source for

blt
tcltk-defaults
tk8.6

Hopefully, that will stick. python3-pil depends on mime-support |
python3-pil.imagetk.

It looks like tl8.6 is pulled in by vim-gtk3 which I assume we want to
keep in main for now.

Title:
  Demote idle to universe

Status in python3-defaults package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  From what I can tell, idle is the only thing keeping tcl/tk in
  universe.

  I think it's unnecessary as most Ubuntu developers use something other
  than idle to work on Python code.

  I came across this while working on LP: #1720482 (tk8.6 recommends xterm which is one thing that appears to keep xterm in main. I think the fix there is to explictly have recommends/depends on gnome-
  terminal for everything that recommends/depend on xterm in main.)

  idle is explicitly seeded in
  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/platform.bionic/view/head:/supported-development-desktop#L36

  It was added in 2005:
