Binary package hint: python-hildon

the package FTBFS (bug 685495), after fixing this FTBFS there is yet
another. It could get fixed but I don't see a point because:

* The only reverse dependency is update-manager-hildon
   - mvo is going to kill it
* There is no upstream page for this package
   - the closest I can find is http://pymaemo.garage.maemo.org/
   - there are no proper tarball releases, only debian source packages
* The last version -- 0.9.0 -- were released in April 2009 so the development is pretty much stalled
* This is an Ubuntu-only package, never pushed to Debian
  - unstable from the changelog most likely comes from maemo
* no Ubuntu maintainer - last update, apart from two no-change uploads, was made in March 2009 by mvo
* Maemo and Gtk+ stack in Meego are pretty much dead end -- both Intel and Nokia are focusing on different toolkits.

** Affects: python-hildon (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Wishlist
         Status: Triaged
