But in the general case, we want users to also get PAN/DUN > support, so recommends is very appropriate. This is not the general case. This is the installation, where the tasks maintainers have selected a package set which fits a specific intent. In Xfce case, we're ok to have network-manager, we then accept network-manager-gnome because there's no other GTK+ NM client than nm-applet, but that's all. We don't really need gnome-bluetooth (although I think we'd be fine with it) and we definitely don't need gnome-control-center. Also, I have no idea how well behaved gnome-bluetooth is when not running under GNOME. > > I have dropped the gnome-session recommends from gnome-control-center, isn't > that enough to stop all of gnome from being installed when xfce is selected in > tasksel?
