Bug#956785: grits: Should this package be removed?

[Simon McVittie]

Source: libgrits
Version: 0.8.1-5
Severity: wishlist
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: proposed-removal

I noticed libgrits while looking at the list of packages that depend on
the superseded library GTK 2.

libgrits appears to be a shared library that is no longer depended on
by anything in Debian >= buster. It depends on GTK 2, which was superseded
by GTK 3 in 2011. Its last upstream release appears to have been in 2013.

Is this library still maintained upstream? Is it sufficiently useful
to justify having it in Debian for use as a dependency of third-party
software, or should it be removed?
