 Thanks Joss, I hijack this perfect occasion to remind people they
 should use ${misc:Depends} whenever possible (almost always, except
 maybe on meta-packages), even if it causes warnings.  Please see the
 debhelper(7) man page for details on why this is useful.  This is what
 caused the most RC bugs in GNOME packages lately.

 (PS: Please note that even if you use CDBS' gnome.mk, you have to add
      ${misc:Depends} to your deps.)

   Cheers,
