I took a stab at creating a transition tracker for this. It's located
at lp:~andrewsomething/+junk/python-gi-transition-tracker I don't know
how useful it will be for this particular transition as it seems most
of this will need to happen in Debian first. I mostly did it just to
take a look at how these trackers work. I ran into one obvious
difficulty. The tracker is hosted in a +junk branch.

It would be nice if
lp:~ubuntu-transition-trackers/+junk/transition-tracker was moved to a
proper project as it is impossible to propose a merge to a +junk
branch on Launchpad.

Thanks,
