Upstream does not want to move to another toolkit, so when GTK 2 is removed, ardour has to go as
well. I guess we should at least keep ardour-lv2-plugins.
It is also the only very popular package that hinders gtkmm2.4 removal so I suggest to reduce it to
build only ardour-lv2-plugins for trixie.
Do we have anything in the archive that comes close to ardour and that we can suggest to people as a
replacement? lmms? qtractor?

Ardour 8.3 has been released and no longer depends on deprecated GTK2 as
a modified version is bundled within. https://ardour.org/whatsnew83.html
Considering ardour has been scheduled for autoremoval on 06 March
(#1061203), I highly recommend getting this updated as soon as possible
to avoid this removal. Since the library is now bundled, the dependency
on libgtk2.0-dev can be dropped.
Thanks,
Erich

Apologies, this has *not* been released yet, but will hopefully be
released in the next week, so please keep an eye on uscan.
Regardless, when it does get released, I will likely send out another
email. Additionally, packages have been getting removed prematurely from
Ubuntu prior to removal from Debian, so I'm getting a little
trigger-happy, hence my email.
Again, apologies for jumping the gun here. :)
