Bug Description

This is one of the last apps that uses gstreamer0.10 in the archive. I apologize for missing this in my initial and other surveys of gst0.10 users.

Let's remove it, upstream is clearly gone and it doesn't seem to work in Xenial in my testing.

Src: screenlets
Binary: screenlets screenlets-doc

Debian has an older version in it's archive that doesn't depend on gstreamer but it also seems unmaintained there and has many bugs about using deprecated packages.

See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2016-January/004780.html for discussion.| Remove from archive

This project seems like it hasn't been actively maintained since about 2012/2013 and the website hasn't worked for quite a while.. Leaning toward requesting removal but will leave this up for a bit.

@Graham
You were the last person to upload this package so I wanted to run this removal request by you before going to the archive team. Thanks!

Ah it looks like the screenlets-pack-all or screenlets-pack-basic are no longer in the archive so this package is really irrelevant.

@bryanquigley: I only uploaded screenlets in order to help with python-support removal (LP: #1535318).

+1 for removal
