[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#885530: gwyddion: Build-Depends on unmaintained pygtk

[Andreas Tille]

Control: forwarded -1 David Necas (Yeti) <yeti at gwyddion.net>, Petr Klapetek <klapetek at gwyddion.net>
Control: tags -1 upstream

Hi,

it would be great if you would consider to migrate gwyddion to GTK+3 /
Gnome 3.  Otherwise we can not support the packaging for Debian any
more.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
