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

[Jeremy Bicha]

** Description changed:

- gnome-python and pyorbit will be removed from Debian Testing soon (I
- estimate early January) 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 packages firmware-tools and gnome-activity-journal. Both of those projects were 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.)
