** Description changed:

- gnome-python and pyorbit will be removed from Debian Testing soon (I
- estimate early January) because it is an old GNOME2 library that hasn't
- been maintained in years. It will take some time for those packages to
- be removed from Debian Unstable, but I don't think we should ship gnome-
- python in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
