I would not even wait for tokio 1.0 upload and request removal of 
tokio-signal could be done right away.

As it stands, it is broken due to unsastifiable build dependencies and 
it has no reverse dependencies, as Peter explained.

Fabian, I see no point in keeping tokio-signal in the archive in its 
current state and the package is going away anyway as you mentionned it 
being superseeded by tokio+signal.

Do you see any reasons to keep it until tokio 1.0 upload?
