For full transparency, this is not only abandoned - it also is part of
the removal of the very outdated wireless-tools via bug 2068612
This certainly is not a very often used component, but removing it would
essentially remove all of the matchbox ecosystem which might be a bit
too much or is that what you ask for?
Since the "matchbox" meta package depends on matchbox-panel and there is
no packages matchbox-panel2 it would mean that had to go away. We can't
just "remove and hope for the rest to stay usable", hence I propose that
we need to clarify the approach here.
Options that come to mind in increasing order of being nice:
a) Remove all matchbox* packages
b) Remove matchbox, matchbox-panel and consider it bad luck for the very
few users, but they can still use the other packages directly
c) adapt matchbox to not depend on matchbox-panel, then remove matchbox-
panel
d) package matchbox-panel2, adapt matchbox to depend on that, then
remove matchbox-panel
All options b upwards, need a testing effort if there is anything left
working without it - otherwise all matchbox* needs to be removed. OTOH
maybe that testing reveals it is old and dysfunctional anyway, which
then makes us go for (a).
I'd ask you to pick the approach (or add a new variant) you wanted to go
and provide the related packaging/testing as needed.
