rgain is no longer maintained upstream:
https://bitbucket.org/fk/rgain/issues/26/wanted-new-maintainer

There is a fork at https://github.com/chaudum/rgain that aims to be
python3-compatible; it remains to be seen whether its maintenance will
continue. If it does, I'll switch upstream source to that.

Switching to Python 3 will require a trip through the NEW queue *anyway*,
and the package in unstable is currently identical to the one in buster,
so this package could be removed from unstable until there is a maintained
Python 3 port if necessary. There are no reverse-dependencies.

This package is ostensibly a library, but the main point of it is the
replaygain(1) and collectiongain(1) scripts, which should really be in a
separate binary package to be more discoverable as executables (#780915).
