Hi,

I intend to orphan the xcffib package.

The package description is:
 This package is intended to be a (mostly) drop-in replacement for xpyb. xpyb
 has an inactive upstream, several memory leaks, is python2 only and doesn't
 have pypy support. xcffib is a binding which uses python-cffi, which mitigates
 some of the issues described above. xcffib also builds bindings for 27 of the
 29 (xprint and xkb are missing) X extensions in 1.10.

It is used by python-cairocffi which is used by some 3D printing tool
and matplotlib. I was originally looking at it for qtile, but I have
abandoned that.

Thanks,
Iain.
