FWIW, I’m not opposed to a new “gnome-minimal” metapackage if some
people deem it useful (although I remain unconvinced), but in the
meta-gnome3 source. I still don’t get what you would put in it except
gnome-session.
I’ve been seriously unimpressed by alternate metapackages effort such as
brdesktop-gnome, which always end up with obsolete or wrong
dependencies.
