Task Description
Description: As Gnome has decided against following libre, free principles the desktop-environment has becoming a risk for the privacy and freedom for users. Meaning that the desktop-environment with all basic packages should be removed. Of course the final decision is up to the community and the development-team. Followed up are more reasons for the insights:
* Bloated with questionable dependencies (including mandatory systemd)
* Using proprietary services as high risk for freedom and privacy for users (https://i.stack.imgur.com/yZcyV.png)
* Coming up with questionable and vague principles, against software-freedom in a whole (inclusion of flatpak and flathub as so-called standardization for distributions, discussions about proprietary software included within the software-center)

All Beep Media Player (BMPx) related variables (including bmpx_album, bmpx_artist, bmpx_bitrate, bmpx_title, bmpx_track and bmpx_uri) are obselete and useless, and should be removed because the package BMPx isn’t present on Arch and Hyperbola official repositories but Arch User Repository (AUR).
[For Milky Way version 0.4.x only] All PulseAudio related variables (including if_pa_sink_muted, pa_sink_volume, pa_sink_volumebar, pa_sink_description, pa_card_name and pa_card_active_profile) are no longer used, and should be removed due replaced the default audio server with sndio.

community/clamtk 5.24-1
Easy to use, light-weight, on-demand virus scanner for Linux systems
According to:
https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-system-distribution-guidelines.html
We shall avoid vague terminology such as “Linux” as operating system, please see here:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Linux
It would be good example to set to have proper description of packages without using “Linux” as operating system.
eg.
Easy to use, light-weight, on-demand virus scanner for GNU/Linux systems
