Stranger still that it is a *build* dependency; here's what happens
without it:

I can't imagine what feature of gnome-terminal this is used for.
Maybe there's some way to split these DBus definitions out into a
gnome-shell-dev package or similar, but we should find out if
gnome-shell is still needed at run-time.
I would imagine some Linux users of other desktops use gnome-terminal;
I'd check this on popcon.d.o but it is unavailable today.
