Hello Laszlo, what should we do here? tg2 depends on python-repoze.tm2 which is no longer installable due to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=938133#10 (probably the binary package is still around as cruft, but could be removed anytime).
I'm still slightly in favor of removing tg2, but i want to check back with you before taking any step further. I'd like to get started on a solution within a week.
