hud has a single reverse-dependency in the archive, unity-action-api,
which itself has no reverse-dependencies.  Neither of these packages has
had sourceful changes uploaded since 2017. I am going to go ahead with
removing these packages to unblock polib.

Title:
  hud-tools depends on obsolete python-polib

Status in hud package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in unity-action-api package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The Ubuntu-specific hud-tools package depends on python-polib, which
  has been dropped from the polib source package in Debian and focal-
  proposed.  To remain in Ubuntu 20.04 and beyond, this package will
  need to be updated to not depend on python-polib.

  It also appears that the hud-tools package does not comply with the
  python packaging policy, because it depends on python-polib and
  python-lxml but does not depend on python at all.  Given that future
  versions of the system will not ship /usr/bin/python as a python2
  interpreter, it's important that this be fixed as well if the intent
  is to continue shipping hud-tools.
