geneweb-gui binary package might need to be removed for Bullseye, for the
two following reasons:

1. It depends on gtksourceview2 (through lablgtk2), which is marked for
autoremoval on April 4th (#911166, #885677).

    The removal was initially discussed in 2018, but was delayed to
Bullseye.

    I will wait to see what will happen with lablgtk2 before taking action.

2. The geneweb gui is no longer supported by the upstream development team
for the future release of geneweb 7 (as of July 2019)

    Commit : "Suprpess gui from contrib"

https://github.com/geneweb/geneweb-contrib/commit/f68027570248e3d598f81ad2f67373f7a9cea243

    However, as long as geneweb 7 is not officially released, there is no
need to remove the geneweb-gui from the geneweb package.
