amtk has been frozen and archived upstream, and contributions are no longer
accepted. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/amtk and
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/-/issues/564 for
more details.

The versions of gedit and devhelp on GNOME infrastructure stopped using
amtk at the same time they stopped using tepl, which is in a similar
situation (see #993909). I don't think amtk should be included in Debian 12.

The remaining packages that use amtk (genius, goodvibes and gyrus) will
either need to stop using amtk (and switch to making the same calls into
GTK that amtk does, but more directly), or fork it. If they fork it,
the former maintainer requests that they use a different name.

Note that in the case of this unmaintained Debian package, the use of amtk
is a Debian-specific patch (part of the port from GTK 2 to GTK 3) rather
than an upstream decision.
