No. There is a reason this is a external package. Besides that, just depending
on it won't help ..

... as you point out here. And what should we do with KDE (which for sure
doesn't want to use OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome)?
No.
(BTW, the default install installs GNOME *and* -gnome (which installs -gtk).
You don't want to force -gtk on anyone, and you don't want to exclude
some WMs either per se.
