Sadly it appears no one has stepped up to do the porting in the four years
since 2017. As a user of wicd-curses, can I humbly suggest that Debian
disables wicd-gtk for the time being so that Debian/testing mapped to
bookworm can continue using wicd?

I'm slightly worried by this comment though:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=885140#77

If wicd-curses is kicked out of Debian entirely, what is the suggested
alternative for scanning, connecting to and disconnecting from Wi-Fi
in a terminal?
