Public bug reported:

Ubuntu Quickly is no longer being maintained and has been replaced by
the Ubuntu SDK (and Make).  The last commit was in 2012. If you stumble
across the documentation [1] you might believe this is the way to make
Ubuntu apps easily.   It also defaults to technologies we no longer
recommend python2 and gtk2*.

I did email the desktop team and got confirmations it's no longer needed
[2].  Let's remove both source and binaries from 15.10 if possible.

Source Packages to remove:  quickly, quickly-widgets, 
quickly-unity-lens-template, unity-singlet
Binary package list - python-quickly-common python-quickly-core 
python-quickly.widgets python-unity-singlet quickly 
quickly-ubuntu-template quickly-unity-lens-template quickly-widgets 
quickly-ubuntu-template

BLOCKED: Pandora-build might still be required in some form -
investigating.

* In fact it might be the key blocker for a few old glade gtk2 packages in repo.
