Bug#688772: gnome Depends network-manager-gnome

[Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>]

Package: tech-ctte

As I wrote to debian-release:
> As you may be aware, the TC recently overruled the maintainers of the
> gnome-core metapackage, deciding that the dependency from gnome-core
> to network-manager should be weakened from Depends to Recommends.
> (The full TC decision is reproduced below.)
> 
> In response to this the maintainers have uploaded a new version of
> meta-gnome in which the gnome-core package Recommends
> network-manager-gnome, as required.  However, additionally, they have
> reintroduced a dependency from gnome to network-manager-gnome, as
> Depends.  See the changes info, also below.
> 
> The Release Team should be aware that our request to unblock the
> update to meta-gnome implementing the TC decision does not extend to
> this latter change to meta-gnome.

> I am going to try to get the TC to pass another resolution

This bug is to track this issue.  Please send all discussion on this
topic only to this bug report.  I will make sure that the gnome
maintainers are pointed to this bug report.
