[Bug 1735872] Re: Port system-config-kickstart away from pygtk2

[Jeremy Bicha]

** Description changed:

- system-config-kickstart is one of 3 packages in main keeping source
- pygtk in main. (The other two are ibus-sunpinyin and python-pyperclip,
- an OpenStack-related package.)
+ system-config-kickstart and ibus-sunpinyin are the only packages keeping
+ pygtk2 in Ubuntu main.
  
  pygtk has been unmaintained upstream since around 2011. The way forward
  is to port system-config-kickstart to use GObject Introspection
  bindings. This also requires porting to GTK3.
  
  For more information on GObject Introspection see:
