Package: libdv4
Version: 0.104-2+b1
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

At the moment gnome-media Depends upon gstreamer0.10-plugins-good, which
Depends upon libdv4.  Since libdv4 Recommends libdv-bin, and libdv-bin is
still linked against the old GTK+ 1.2 library, this implies that anyone
who installs a recent version of Gnome using aptitude will end up having
the old obsolete libgtk1.2 and libglib1.2 library packages pulled in
by default.  This seems somehow undesirable.

To prevent this from happening, would you consider downgrading libdv4's
Recommends on libdv-bin to a Suggests?  The description of libdv-bin
("sample programs") makes it sound like libdv4 will experience no loss
of functionality if libdv-bin is not installed.
