[Bug 1740804] Re: Remove old vte package from Ubuntu

[Jeremy Bicha]

** No longer affects: hotssh (Ubuntu)

** No longer affects: lcrt (Ubuntu)

** No longer affects: pypar2 (Ubuntu)

** No longer affects: gnoemoe (Ubuntu)

** Description changed:

  NOTE
  ====
  Debian's debian-installer (specifically cdebconf-gtk-terminal I believe) uses a udeb from the old vte package. See https://bugs.debian.org/887649
  
  Original Bug Report
  ===================
  The old vte source hasn't been maintained upstream since 2011 (when GNOME 3 was released). vte will be dropped from Debian Testing soon. We should not ship it in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. The replacement is provided by source vte2.91 (which requires gtk3).
  
- The geany-plugins will be "fixed" in Debian soon by no longer building
- them.
- 
  sjterm was already requested for removal in LP: #1728241
- guake's removal was requested in LP: #1739800
  
  $ reverse-depends src:vte
