Bug#784111: Removal of libxsettings is now possible



Bug#729891:  fixed in matchbox-window-manager 1.2-osso21-3
Bug#729887:  fixed in libmatchbox 1.9-osso8-5

Thanks to Moray Allen for closing these two bugs, it should be possible
to remove libxsettings in due course. (Let the fixed packages migrate
to buster.)

Original rationale for removal from the two bugs:

> Continuing the removal of GPE from Debian. Upstream has been dead
> for some time. The environment itself is aimed at a dead platform
> (iPAQ) and is unsuitable for use on current devices like phones or
> tablets without widescale modification. I've no interest in
> maintaining it any longer but rather than simply orphan ~60 packages,
> I've decided to seek removal on the basis that the orphaned
> environment would be unmaintainable in the long term. There is zero
> prospect of GPE ever being ported to GTK3.
