  Are you ready to start this transition? If so, please go ahead.
 0.8.0 uploaded to unstable. Increasing the other bug severities to
 release critical (grave, as they are uninstallable and thus unusable

is there some progress to expect on computer-janitor wrt. python-apt
transition or should I simply remove the package?

I just don't get it: the maintainer himself files a bug for his own
package, raises its severity later and nothing appears to happen on it
for more than a year.

It was a somewhat busy time, doing lots of different things. There
are updates pending for most of my packages, but I need to find the
right time to do them, as some are somewhat complex.

In case of computer-janitor, there also has not been any upstream
release tarball since 2.1 in February, so I'm not sure whether
there is any active development there either. It has not been
ported in Ubuntu either.

I don't know what Canonical intents to do with this program, I
won't port it myself at the moment. You're free to provide a
patch to make computer-janitor 2.1.0-0ubuntu6 run on Debian,
though, and get that upstream, and then I'll happily upload
a new version for you.

Until that's fixed upstream, my time is allocated to packages
that are already in stable and shall remain there; not to
packages that are only in unstable.
