I believe we're at the point in the release cycle for some archive
admin cleanup. I noticed that some bugs from 16.10 weren't handled so
I'm listing those below, and some specific 17.04 requests.
New packages for 17.04
----------------------------------
1) switcheroo-control
Small package needed for a GNOME 3.24 feature. Sorry it wasn't
uploaded before FF but I didn't know it was needed
https://launchpad.net/bugs/1671828
2) retro-gtk and gnome-games-app
https://launchpad.net/bugs/1669687
https://launchpad.net/bugs/1669688
Not as important but still nice to have.
While I want Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 to include switcheroo-control by
default, gnome-games-app and retro-gtk will not be in the default
install.
