The timing of the removal is a little unfortunate, given that it was
originally suggested 18 months ago and the bug report (#547314)
indicates that it was planned to be processed last August.  Although
it's a leaf package, it does have non-neglible popcon ("recent" count
over 800).

GNOME maintainers - any thoughts?
