Dear maintainer(s),

I noticed that package gnuradio recommends python3-pyqt5.qwt, which is
currently not available in unstable.

See:

- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python3-pyqt5.qwt

For details on when it was deleted.

The package python3-pyqt5.qwt was removed because of unmaintained
upstream:

https://tracker.debian.org/news/1744846/removed-10202-3-from-unstable/
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1742281/pyqt-qwt-removed-from-testing/

So I suggest deleting the Recommends as it does not appear that will be
re-introduced.

Thank you for your time,
