Severity: serious

python2-gnome is long deprecated and unmaintained. We should not
release Debian 10 "Buster" with it.

The way forward is to port your app to use GObject Introspection
bindings.

For more information on GObject Introspection see [1] and [2].

As of today, there are only 2 reverse-depends in Testing, guake (
#845949 ) and rapid-photo-downloader ( #790600 ) and those are already
marked for auto-removal soon. gnome-python won't be auto-removed
because of popcon.
