This is a temporary bugfix. At this moment the libproxy code in libsoup is unstable, so the libsoup developers decided to disable libproxy and use gconf instead for proxy detection. The changelog states that it's a temporary solution that will be worked out for 2.26.0. With 2.26.1, the dependencies will be the same as we had with the 2.25.x release which was in testing for a while.
