Bug#726395: gnome-control-center: Please downgrade dependency on network-manager-gnome to Recommends (violates tech-ctte decision otherwise)



Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.8.0-2
Severity: serious
Justification: violates tech-ctte decision

Hi,

Laurent Bigonville closed #622392 as follows[1];
> gnome-control-center is now depending against network-manager >=
> 0.9.8

Please downgrade this hard dependency to a Recommends as it has been
done in gnome-core.

Otherwise this "solution" violates the decision of the Technical
Committee as stated[2] in #681834 because gnome-core in unstable
depends[3] on gnome-control-center and since today
gnome-control-center in unstable depends[4] on network-manager-gnome.

[2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=681834#273
[3] http://packages.debian.org/sid/gnome-core
[4] http://packages.debian.org/experimental/gnome-control-center and
    soon http://packages.debian.org/sid/gnome-control-center, too, see
    http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gnome-control-center/news/20131013T164840Z.html

This makes the packages gnome-control-center and hence gnome-core and
gnome uninstallable on non-linux architectures again.

Cc'ing the according Tech-Ctte bug report.
