Bug#945696: lokalize: Python2 removal in sid/bullseye
Looked into what's here, and it's really just 3 Python Kross scripts
(i.e. optional extensions to the Qt application).
Kross itself isn't ported yet (#936809).
These are not used, unless the user manually installs them, by dragging
the .rc file into the application, as described here [0]

They don't look particularly actively maintained. I tried running the
one that doesn't need Kross (xliffmerge), and it blew up because it
wasn't ported to Qt5, completely.
Fedora has a commit that switched lokalize to Python 3 [1] but they've
really just changed a dependency, that isn't being used.
And, separately, dropped Python Kross support [2].

So, it'd be reasonable to just drop these scripts, and Recommends
entirely until Kross is ported to Python 3, and they're known to work,
again.
