Bug#936625: gnome-doc-utils is deprecated

[Andreas Henriksson]

Control: severity -1 serious

Hello,

The gnome-doc-utils package is deprecated since many years.
It should be removed, rather than ported to python3.

Please see #889019 for futher deprecation info.

This packages however still has quite a large reverse build-dependency
list:

$ reverse-depends -r testing -b src:gnome-doc-utils

I'm raising the severity for more visibility because it's very unlikely
anyone can hope for this package to survive python2 removal. Thus
someone will decide if this is important enough to keep to also keep
python2.
