Bug Description

Please remove src:gauche-gtk and all its binaries from Ubuntu Impish.

This includes:
src:gauche-gtk 0.6+git20160927-3 (& build1 in -proposed)
gauche-gtk 0.6+git20160927-3 (& build1 in -proposed)
gauche-gtk-dbgsym 0.6+git20160927-3 (& build1 in -proposed)

gauche-gtk is unmaintained upstream and has been dropped from Debian testing last year (https://tracker.debian.org/news/1170884/gauche-gtk-removed-from-testing/)

gauche-gtk has no reverse (build-)depends:
$ reverse-depends -b src:gauche-gtk
No reverse dependencies found
$ reverse-depends src:gauche-gtk
No reverse dependencies found

And honestly, we should even consider to drop the whole gauche* stack (and block auto-sync from Debian) as it is pretty deprecated, that would include all source and binaries from:

src:gauche
src:gauche-gtk
src:gauche-gl
src:libguess
src:scmail
src:wiliki

This has been discussed in several plusone maintenance reports:

The other packages do not have release critical bugs in Debian, have not been removed from testing, and are not reported to fail to build from source in Ubuntu. They therefore don't meet the criteria for removal and blacklisting in Ubuntu. As long as they are maintainable, we keep them in the event that someone finds them useful.
