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

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.

I am the Debian maintainer and also the only upsteam maintainer.

Boilerplate put aside, apparently the only GTK+ 2 program shipped in
this package is the gscriptor GUI. I'm therefore directly Cc'ing
Lionel Victor, who's the upstream author according to the homepage :)

I would be surprised if we get support from Lionel.

I will try to port gscriptor to Gtk+3. If it is too dificult I may remove it 
from the Debian package.

gscriptor uses Gtk2::SimpleMenu. I could not find an equivalent for Gtk3 :-(
I do not use gscriptor any more and do not use the PCSC Perl wrapper much these 
days. So I do not plan to invest time in porting gscriptor to libgtk3-perl.

My plan is to remove gscriptor from the pcsc-tools package after the release of 
Buster. Unless someone provides a patch in the meantime.

Regards,
