missing removed-packages or a transitional dummy pkg?

I don't know if we should do that this time. Removing them has some value - we will be a few packages closer to dropping Python 2, but also people might want libappindicator when they compile something on their own. I didn't add them to removed-packages, so they should be still usable for a while.

does ayatana provide a compatible api or would people compiling things need to make some changes to the thing they're compiling?

from what I know, the API is compatible, but the library name is different, so you have to at least fix that in the build system and includes in the sources

Is it safe to create a symlink libappindicator3.so.1 to libayatana-appindicator3.so.1?
