quick question, I am porting py-canberra which isn't required but an
optional dependency for another port that I am working on.
ibus-cangjie.

The ibus-cangjie port needs py-gobject anyways; so a whole lot of gtk stuff
gets pulled in.
I wonder should I leave it as is or make a dependency from this thing
you're working on instead?

I was waiting for @flavors to calm down before I started working on the
port again.
