Let's remove this package completely. It's dead upstream, unmaintained
in Debian and superseded by libsigc++-2.0.
Please also remove the only remaining rdep along with it: freqtweak

It has been orphaned and is RC buggy since a while [1]. Judging from the
upstream activity, it's probably safe to conclude that freqtweak is also
dead upstream.
