Bug#423534: Please continue providing glade2

[Meik Hellmund]

Package: glade
Version: 2.12.1-7
Severity: wishlist


It would be great if you could continue providing glade2 for sid.
Reasons:  - glade3 still has some quite rough edges whereas glade2 
            is really usable. 
          - Some people like and use the code generation feature of 
            glade2 which has been dropped in glade3.
          - The all-in-one-window GUI of glade3 is hard to use 
            w/o a really big display.
Today it is no problem to install glade_2.12.1-7 on sid but  if I look
at the dependencies I am afraid the day will come when this no longer 
works. 

Many thanks, Meik
