Source: chemtool
Version: 1.6.14-6
Severity: serious
X-Debbugs-CC: mbanck at debian.org, dleidert at debian.org

I would like to remove chemtool from Debian. Its last upstream release
was in 2013. It uses gtk2 which is being removed from Debian.

As an alternative, I suggest that ChemCanvas could be packaged for
Debian. It uses python3-pyqt5.
