clutter-1.0 is unmaintained upstream (#996690) and we should reduce the
amount of Clutter in Debian.

ruby-gnome builds three bindings related to clutter-1.0, but it looks as
though nothing in Debian depends on them:

> smcv at coccia ~ % dak rm -R -n -b ruby-clutter ruby-clutter-gdk ruby-clutter-gtk
> Will remove the following packages from unstable:
> 
> ruby-clutter |    3.4.3-2 | all
> ruby-clutter-gdk |    3.4.3-2 | all
> ruby-clutter-gtk |    3.4.3-2 | all
> 
> ...
> 
> Checking reverse dependencies...
> No dependency problem found.

Please disable these binary packages, perhaps with a change similar to
<https://salsa.debian.org/ruby-team/ruby-gnome/-/commit/42c672537e787093fbb18a83d2bcdcbb8df053ba>.

Thanks,
