Bug Description

Please remove maliit-framework & maliit-inputcontext-gtk from Ubuntu.

They have no reverse dependencies.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/maliit-framework was uploaded to Debian experimental once but was removed.

I think the packages were added as part of the Unity 8 project and aren't actively maintained in Ubuntu since Canonical stopped work there.

Nevertheless, it's clear it is no longer being maintained as a package in Ubuntu, with only distro maintenance uploads (rebuilds for ABI changes, etc) since at least 2017 and no one pulling new upstream versions into Ubuntu since 2015. If someone is interested in actually maintaining this in Ubuntu, we can always see about getting it reuploaded.

What would be required for a backport from 22.10 where maalit was reintroduced in a much newer version? I can do the paperwork with a bit of guidance :)
