Bug#885752: pygtk: Unmaintained, should not be released with Debian

[Jeremy Bicha]

Source: pygtk
Version:
Severity: serious

pygtk is unmaintained upstream. It has not had a release since GNOME 3
was released in 2011.

The way forward is to port your app to use GObject Introspection
bindings (and gtk3).

For more information on GObject Introspection see [1] and [2].

Please try to do this before the Buster release as we're going to
try to remove pygtk this cycle.
