python2-gnome is long deprecated and unmaintained. We should not release Debian 10 "Buster" with it. The way forward is to port your app to use GObject Introspection bindings. For more information on GObject Introspection see [1] and [2]. As of today, there are only 2 reverse-depends in Testing, guake ( #845949 ) and rapid-photo-downloader ( #790600 ) and those are already marked for auto-removal soon. gnome-python won't be auto-removed because of popcon.
