Packages shipping gconf schemas/defaults but without a strong dependency



Hi,

as I have noticed a few rants in bug reports about packages depending on
gconf2 while their GConf related functionality is optional, I have tried
to improve the situation a bit.

As of gconf2 2.20.1-1, the package now registers schemas and defaults
that have not yet been registered before. Which means you should be able
to safely drop the dependency on gconf2 *if the functionality is
optional*. This only concerns a small number of packages and involves
dropping ${misc:Depends}, but I thought some of you should be
interested.

Cheers,
