Please remove meta-gnome2 from the Oneiric archives

[Jeremy Bícha]

meta-gnome2 is Debian's set of metapackages to install Gnome 2 but Gnome 2 is not really installable in Ubuntu Oneiric. The Debian Gnome team does have a meta-gnome3 package but it only lives in their svn and hasn't been released yet. meta-gnome2 depends on all sorts of legacy Gnome 2 libraries and some apps that I believe we'd like to get out of the archives at least by the next LTS and so removing this would help remove some of those rdepends. I expect that we'll get meta-gnome3 in the Ubuntu archives for the next LTS also.
