Sorry, I wanted to write an email about this but got distracted.

fbpanel never had a runtime dependency on Python,
and build dependencies on Python 2 are permitted in bullseye.
This might change in bookworm, but that is behind the horizon.

GTK2 dependencies are not a reason for removal, and #967335 says 
"perhaps removing GTK 2 from Debian will never be feasible".

"dead upstream" is true for large parts of the archive,
unless there is security exposure this is acceptable.

"RC-buggy" was the only known real problem with this package,
and I fixed this with the patches from Ubuntu.
