Bug#878483: task-gnome-desktop: Drop extra Recommends
New version of the patch. This also drops libreoffice-evolution which
we recently dropped from the 'gnome' metapackage.
Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha

Subject: [PATCH] gnome: Don't recommend Synaptic, Gimp or full LibreOffice
Drop Synaptic since it doesn't work in Wayland. See bug 8183366.
(Alternatives are gnome-software which is already installed, or
gnome-packagekit, or switch to the GNOME on Xorg session.)
The 'gnome' metapackage intentionally installs specific
LibreOffice packages instead of the 'libreoffice' metapackage.
Drop gimp since it's not important enough to install for everyone.
The Debian GNOME team is discussing dropping it from the 'gnome'
metapackage.
Closes: #878483
