Package: gnome Version: 1:3.0+3 Severity: wishlist Executive summary:
Please change dependency for tomboy etc. to: gnote | tomboy (>= 1.6) | zim Longer story: gnome dependency has: tomboy (>= 1.6) | gnote Since first one is the default choice, this install tomboy as default. After f-spot is gone, tomboy is the only package depending on MONO so this introduces many *-cil package dependency to gnome-core just for this tomboy package. So without religious argument, just by technical judgement of size, speed and lightness, why not change this dependency as: gnote | tomboy (>= 1.6) (I know both are active project.) As I checked Ubuntu forum*, people seem to use zim as GTK based alternative with practically for the same purpose with VCS support etc. Since gnome tends to list alternatives: abiword (>= 2.8) | libreoffice-gnome gnumeric (>= 1.10) | libreoffice-gnome liferea | evolution-rss | blam Why not make this even better with: gnote | tomboy (>= 1.6) | zim So install of zim allow us to remove gnote without needing to remove gnome package and manually selecting all other package in it.
