Dear maintainer,

what I don't understand, and please enlighten me about it, is,
why is there a wrapper for a component of a specific platform,
the gnome desktop,
inside the dependencies of a fundamentally platform-independent
programming language.

I understand the importance of accessibility,
but this would be better served by having this wrapper
be part of dependencies and recommendations of
the gnome-accessibility package. In the jre it
should be, if at all, an "is enhanced by", maximally a
recommendation, along with a similar wrapper for the
kdeaccessibility mechanisms and something xfce-related,
or even better something unifying and desktop-independent
from the freedesktop-portal.

Lastly, as I understand it, even if gconf is a compilation
dependency there are mechanisms that, if implemented,
only use gconf if the gconf daemon is present,
and fall back to traditional text config files if not,
so that gconf should always, in non-gnome packages, be
a recommendation. And even that is, afaik, replaced by the
much more lightweight dconf package.

With kind regards, Lutz Lehmann
