if you have spare cycles, i'd prefer if you could have a look at it

I would have tried going "longer" way, given the age of 0.5.3.  Would
you have time for it Sandro, or should I try?

in the archive we have 0.5.3, released in 2015; the latest upstream
release is 0.5.7 which was released in 2017; the first release to
support python3 is 0.5.4 of 2016.

I see 2 paths forward:

1. (longer) the package gets upgraded to 0.5.7 (with a relative mini
transition i guess) and that includes adding python3-freenect and drop
python-freenect
2. (shorter) we keep 0.5.3 and we simply drop python-freenect, which
has 0 reverse dependencies in the archive.

What do you think it's best here?

Sandro
