Package: wicd
Version: 1.7.2.4-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

New wicd-gtk (currently in testing/unstable) stopped recommending any
other "sudo-client" than gksu, and gksu pulls by default gnome-keyring
which pulls a lot of other unrelated stuff.

If wicd-gtk can work without gksu without losing a major part of
functionality, please downgrade it to Suggests.
