It's not so simple.  There's a procedure for removing packages.
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-removing-pkgs

The popcon stats are not zero.
http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?popcon=libgtk-perl

Nathanael, are there worthy replacements for these packages using the
new gnome libraries? If not yet, then I would like to keep these
packages generated for now.

But, Nathanael, I appreciate that you care about cleaning up.  Good
work, including making that list of "orphaned packages with low popcon".

Bart Martens
