Please remove gnome-main-menu from the Yakkety archive, it is obsolete

[Martin Wimpress ]

gnome-main-menu is (dispite the name) a MATE panel applet that is GTK2 only. None of the MATE team are interested in maintain/migrating gnome-main-menu to GTK3.

Please remove gnome-main-menu from the Yakkety archive, it is obsolete.

Here is the Debian bug:

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

I believe the Ubuntu archive administrators do periodically review Debian removals for removal in Ubuntu too, but I suppose an explicit bug doesn't hurt either.

[Martin Wimpress  (flexiondotorg)]

The Debian removal has been actioned.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

removing the sponsors, that's an archive admin job, not a standard upload
