Bug Description

With Quickly removed per bug 1494345 there are no Reverse Dependencies on glade-3.

Source packages: glade-3,
Binary packages: glade-gnome glade-gtk2 libgladeui-1-11 libgladeui-1-dev

There is a suggests from libglade2-dev (not being removed) -> glade-gnome but this is also broken in Debian -https://packages.debian.org/sid/libglade2-dev

These packages appear to have been removed from Debian for quite some time, glade-gnome is currently only found in oldoldstable.
(The one exception is https://packages.debian.org/sid/libgladeui-1-dev which I don't really understand)

There appears to be no future updates coming - https://git.gnome.org/browse/glade/?h=glade-3-8

It was previously removed in 2011 but added back to keep support for create/editing gtk2 uis - also due to Quickly, per bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glade-3/+bug/825070. I don't believe it's worth keeping in 2015.

See comment #2 for more about libdesktop-agnostic

Oops, one reverse build depends I missed from libgladeui-1-dev <- libdesktop-agnostic.
It seems libdesktop-agnostic is in a similar state in Debian and was last updated upstream in 2011.
*Needs further investigation*

will contact last uploader for dockmanager to see if there is any additional context to keep it.

docky is actively maintained in both debian/ubuntu
https://packages.debian.org/sid/docky still has a recommends to dockmanager even though it doesn't exist there.

Checked with last uploader and we can remove dockmanager - oh and it mentions it's no longer supported here - https://launchpad.net/dockmanager

Opened a dockmanager specific bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dockmanager/+bug/1501859
this bug can't move until dockmanager is taken care of. If that works better I'll strip out libdesktop-agnostic to it's own bug when dockmanager is done.
