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

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.

[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.
Regards, Axel
