Public bug reported:

These projects are discontinued, unsupported and should be removed.

I haven't done any analysis of the deps or rdeps to find out if there is
more to cull, or if there is some untangling to do.

I know of two tasks other than removing packages -

 Unity ships an Amazon launcher in its preset favourites which launches
a binary from unity-webapps-service. That should be removed.

 We need to keep providing the Amazon launcher by default (in GNOME
Shell) - it should be reimplemented and added to Shell by default.
