Hi!

This package depends on libgtk2-perl, that I intend to remove
from testing soon after the Buster release, and then from sid at
some later point during the Bullseye development cycle:

   https://bugs.debian.org/912860

Usually I would write here: "Please get in touch with the upstream
project and suggest they port this application to libgtk3-perl.
I've personally ported a couple Perl GTK+ apps from 2.x to 3.x and
it's rather straightforward. Upstream for the GTK+ 3 and GObject
Introspection Perl bindings is responsive and happy to add missing
bits to the bindings".

But I notice that:

 - The previous maintainer (Cc'ed) before this package was orphaned
   is also the upstream author.

 - This package won't be in Buster due to #904562, which I filed back
   in July.

So I guess that what this app needs is a new upstream maintainer.
If that does not happen, I think we should remove this package
from the archive.   

Cheers!
