Bug#1092927: libgnomekbd: unmaintained upstream; upstream repository is archived and read-only

Control: severity -1 serious

I'm raising the severity because it looks doable for libgnomekbd to be
removed from Debian before Debian 14 is released.
budgie-control-center in experimental no longer uses libgnomekbd.

Cinnamon 6.6 no longer uses libgnomekbd according to
https://www.linuxmint.com/rel_zena_whatsnew.php

Cinnamon has a lot of components so I don't know if every piece was
ported away from libgnomekbd yet. (I know that cinnamon-screensaver
still uses caribou for instance.). Practically, libgnomekbd won't be
removed from Testing as long as Cinnamon uses it, according to the
current way Debian defines key packages.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
