Bug#885011: libgio-fam: Remove this package?

Package: libgio-fam
Version: 2.54.2-4

As part of Debian GNOME's svn to git conversion, it makes sense to
evaluate whether we still need deprecated and unmaintained packages in
Debian. One of those is gamin. [1]

I see that libgio-fam is only built on hurd and kfreebsd. See
https://bugs.debian.org/526219 for some background on that. (Neither
fam nor gamin have been in Ubuntu "main" since at least 12.04. It
appears like fam/gamin was more of a gnome-vfs thing so not needed
since GNOME 3).

libgio-fam has no reverse-depends as far as I can tell.
