Title:
  [MIR] libayatana-appindicator

Status in libayatana-appindicator package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  [Availability]
  * Everywhere

  [Rationale]
  * Appindicator is dead, we should move it to universe and switch to the "better" and "supported" ayatana version
  [Security]
  * No security bugs found

  [Quality assurance]
  * Strongly maintained in Debian, lots of packages in main used to have deltas to drop and switch to appindicator, I think we will save a lot of work by just syncing stuff and not maintaining appindicator anymore (at least moving it to universe)
  [Dependencies]
  * All deps in main
  [Standards compliance]
  * New compat level
  * Maintained in sync with Debian
  * It builds a python2 bind, maybe we can just not MIR all binaries there
  [Maintenance]
  * Debian maintains it, and is doing a port to ayatana of all packages.

  [Background information]
  * I think we can also just MIR libayatana-appindicator3-1

  reverse-depends -c main src:libappindicator -r cosmic
  Reverse-Depends
  ===============
  * network-manager-gnome         (for libappindicator3-1)
  * remmina                       (for libappindicator3-1)
  * transmission-gtk              (for libappindicator3-1)

  all the three packages are now using ayatana in -proposed pocket
