Bug Description

penguintv depends on python-webkit, which is deprecated and going to be removed from the archive. tunesviewer should switch to using the GObject Introspection bindings for webkit, ideally gir1.2-webkit2-4.0 for Webkit2 and gtk+3 as upstream has already dropped WebKit1 (so gir1.2-webkit-1.0 and gir1.2-webkit-3.0 are likely to be dropped from Debian and Ubuntu in the near future). This would mean
switching to GObject Introspection for other bindings as well, e.g. GLib and GTK+, so making the switch to GTK+ 3 at the same time would make a lot of sense.

For more information on GObject Introspection see [1] and [2].

this is not going to happen. Probably the package should be removed (it had a good run!)
