Thanks a lot for checking!

This works for me. Note that shutter is also one of the very few
packages blocking the removal of other libgnome2*-perl packages,
so ideally the fix would remove all Gnome2::* dependencies.

What would be an acceptable timeline for you to check before we decide
about the removal? Personally I'm rather flexible: as long as this
happens during the Buster development cycle, I'm happy :)
