Hello:

I looked at the upstream website and this package had only one release
in 2007 and was intended for the CG-toolkit 1.4.

It's a package created for and only used by python-pygpu and that
package was removed from testing because of #632378. Python-pyglew,
python-pygpu and python-pycg are from the same upstream author and are
all unmaintained since their first 2007 release. It would probably be
better to just remove it since it seems that python-pyglew and
python-pygpu could get removed soon and the package is dead upsteam.
IMO is not worth it to take it over.

Cheers,
Miguel
