That is a CHANGE to the definition of gnome-core, which affects
many users who have gnome-core installed but not gnome-desktop-
-environment.

Here is the Lenny definition of the package:

 These are the core components of the GNOME Desktop environment, an
 intuitive and attractive desktop.
 .
 This package depends on a basic set of programs, including a file
 manager, an image viewer, a text editor and other basic tools.

A DD changed gnome-core's dependencies instead of making the same
changes to the CD's package list, and then was too lazy to fix his
mistake.

And thus one lazy DD creates headaches for thousands of sysadmins.
