Hi,

I've now filed blocking bugs for all the bits that prevent us
(pkg-perl) from removing libgnome2-perl + libgnome2-vfs-perl, and in
turn prevent pkg-gnome from removing gnome-vfs.

For the record I'm now going to look into removing *all*
libgnome2-*perl packages, ideally during the Buster cycle: at first
glance most of them are depending on other GNOME technologies that
have been obsoleted a while ago too, and that are not maintained
upstream anymore. I don't feel comfortable shipping such stuff to
our users.

I'll track this effort with
usertags and "blocked by" relationships:

Cheers,
