Hi Michael,
1) you've changed this bug's severity from "important" to "wishlist" without
any comment,
so it looked more like an unintentional typo somewhere.
2) just to remember, here is the current problem:
"network-manager-gnome" recommends "gnome-bluetooth",
"gnome-bluetooth" recommends "gnome-control-center" // which is unusable in
non-GNOME3 DE's (LXDE at least), see bug#695817
"gnome-control-center" recommends "gnome-session" // which finally recommends
"gnome-shell"
AFAIK, "network-manager-applet" / "network-manager-gnome" is the only GTK
frontend / applet for NetworkManager
packaged in Debian,
so more lightweight GTK DE's like Xfce & LXDE make use of it ("lxde" &
"task-xfce-desktop" packages recommend it).
And pulling the core of GNOME3 to make a network manager work is a nonsense.
// Well, it still can be avoided on upgrade by supplying a
"--no-install-recommends" option to APT:
// # apt-get --no-install-recommends dist-upgrade
Thus, I strongly suggest to move "gnome-bluetooth" to "Suggests" for
"network-manager-gnome" package.
We shouldn't fear about GNOME3 users losing Bluetooth functionality,
since "gnome-core", "gnome-shell" & "gnome-user-share" packages currently have
"gnome-bluetooth" in "Depends"!
----
Best wishes, Bob
