I'm tempted to say this "doesn't matter". It's gnome-print for the 1.x
platform, and (although very debatable) I don't think the reverse depends
are *that* crucial (and some are already ported to the 2.x platform). Most
are relatively minor or already have better 2.x equivalents.

gnucash matters, but guppi doesn't really have much of a future...

I think most of the software relying on this for pty/shell support have or
are already moving to vte (or other solutions). It's possibly worth letting
libzvt go, as long as the important packages above are dealt with in some
way.
