If we are talking about MP3x (our GTK frame analyser):
http://lame.sourceforge.net/images/gpsycho.gif

then even though it's using a very old GTK version, I'd like to keep it 
in Lame. It's a very valuable tool, which can not be replaced by Audacity.
That being said, it's a developper tool only, so excluding it of the 
Debian package has absolutely no incidence. Anyone wanting to use mp3x 
will also likely use a fresh build from the CVS repository instead of a 
package.
