Hi,

quoting two members from Debian GNOME Maintainers team:

 Simon McVittie <[email protected]>[1]
  Looking at sensors-applet's bug list and upstream homepage, it seems
  like it uses various other deprecated things that are on life support
  (such as dbus-glib, which has been deprecated for years) ...
  ...
  sensors-applet is a leaf package with a rapidly declining popcon score,
  ...
  I think RM:RoQA might be the most appropriate action.

 Dmitry Shachnev <[email protected]>
  Please do RM:RoQA if it prevents you from removing dbus-glib or other
  deprecated things.

So please lets remove this package.

Kind regards and thank you for your work as ftpmaster
   Andreas.
