Title: Deprecate tap2deb and tap2rpm
Text:
tab2deb and tap2rpm are command-line utilities that create a shim over a .tap file, allowing it to be installed as an OS package (.deb or .rpm respectively).
Currently, a test (twisted.scripts.test.test_tap2deb.TestTap2DEB.test_basicOperation) fails in some situations, apparently because these utilities don't work properly in some specific OS configurations. For example, see https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/6920 (closed for other reasons).
It is not immediately obvious how widespread their use is, but exarkun advises deprecation. Another developer will need to weigh-in with a deprecation justification is one is to be provided.
