This turned up on my radar as I use popcon as a measure of interest and
clutter-gtk still has a popcon rank of about 1500. I recognize that
popcon favours deprecated packages. If you can suggest a metter sorting
metric for ordering packages, I'm all ears. Other than that, I'm happy
to have this closed with removing the package from unstable soon.
Otherwise, I hope the next upload can include this change.
