Bug Description

libgnome has been removed from Debian Testing and will not be included in the Debian 10 "Buster" release. We should do the same. If we do it now, maybe some projects will do the needed porting work away from libgnome (porting to gtk3 is probably needed) in time for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or Debian 10. Users who are hurt by these removals can keep using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS for a few years.

resapplet and winefish are unmaintained and aren't in Debian.

linsmith is in Debian and will be either ported to gtk3 or removed eventually, but I don't think Ubuntu needs to wait for that.

This bug depends on these other removals:
DONE: gnome-python LP: #1739800
DONE: gnome-sharp2 LP: #1771025
DONE: shutter LP: #1771030

winefish can be removed from Disco. No reverse dependencies, not in Debian, and dead upstream. See this as well: https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2011/06/msg00447.html

Steve said he'd prefer to handle the removals semi-automatically when they're removed from Debian so I'm closing this bug to not clutter the Archive Admin bug queue.
