Bug Description

The Ubuntu-specific hud-tools package depends on python-polib, which has been dropped from the polib source package in Debian and focal-proposed. To remain in Ubuntu 20.04 and beyond, this package will need to be updated to not depend on python-polib.

It also appears that the hud-tools package does not comply with the python packaging policy, because it depends on python-polib and python-lxml but does not depend on python at all. Given that future versions of the system will not ship /usr/bin/python as a python2 interpreter, it's important that this be fixed as well if the intent is to continue shipping hud-tools.

hud has a single reverse-dependency in the archive, unity-action-api, which itself has no reverse-dependencies. Neither of these packages has had sourceful changes uploaded since 2017. I am going to go ahead with removing these packages to unblock polib.
