Bug description:
  gnome-python and pyorbit have been removed from Debian Testing 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.

  I am filing this bug now in particular to provide early notice for the Ubuntu-specific packages firmware-tools and gnome-activity-journal. Both of those projects were abandoned upstream years ago.

  https://code.launchpad.net/~gnome-zeitgeist/gnome-activity-journal/trunk

  This bug depends on LP: #1739797 (removal of gnome-python-desktop).
  (Therefore, I am not adding tasks here for packages on that list.)
