Package: ruby-gtksourceview2
Version: 3.2.1-1
Severity: serious
Severity: important
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: oldlibs gtksourceview2
Tags: sid buster

As announced [1], we do not intend to release Debian 10 "Buster" with
the old libgnome (and related) libraries. These libraries have been
deprecated and unmaintained for several years.

Could you help us by removing ruby-gtksourceview2? It has no reverse-
depends in Debian and new projects should use ruby-gtksourceview3
instead.
