[RM] uninstallable due to dependency issues

[Christian Ehrhardt ]

Hi,
while tracking down issues in update-excuses I found gspiceui.

That is on version 1.2.36+dfsg-1 in Ubuntu and Debian.
But uninstallable at the moment.

It turns out that it was related to the guile-2.0 removal that removed src:geda-gef.
But it seems it has no chance to work as the bug [9] to get geda-gaf updated stalled and found now package owner and will be removed [10].

The scheduled removal was filed against gspiceui [11] but might happen only after Groovy is in FF.

If there is a fix to gspiceui it will auto-sync - until then we should remove since it is unusable as-is.

Please do note that currently this is only in groovy-proposed but not groovy-release.
So chances are that this doesn't need to be removed (just don't let it migrate to -release is enough).

But OTOH it is polluting update-excuses - so I was filing this to either remove OR learn that we don't touch those cases.

OTOH we even have a category to hold these kind of things back at [1] so maybe it is common to remove those :-)
