[RM] Removal of the unmaintained uec-provisioning package from groovy

[Łukasz Zemczak]

With the new pyyaml version synced from Debian, python-yaml is no longer provided. The uec-provisioning-webui binary package depends on python-yaml, so this needs to be dealt with before pyyaml can migrate.

From what I see this package has no reverse dependencies:

$ reverse-depends src:uec-provisioning
No reverse dependencies found
$ reverse-depends -b src:uec-provisioning
No reverse dependencies found

The last meaningful upload was in 2012 and the package was not updated at all since that time. It looks to me like there is no reason to keep it around or try and fix it by converting it to python3. It is an Ubuntu-specific package. Asked server for opinion, but it feels to me like we should just remove it.

I went ahead and removed it - we can always reintroduce it if needed:

$ remove-package -s groovy -m "LP: #1879469. Package unmaintained since 2012, Ubuntu specific, no rdeps, one of its binaries is uninstallable due to python2." uec-provisioning
