I'm surprised to hear that gnome-core requires gnash. It's certainly not

I it was introduced into squeeze yesterday (source package meta-gnome2
2.28+6 transitioned to squeeze on 2010-03-16). The reason seems to be
that swfdec was removed. The changelog[0] for meta-gnome2 says (among
other things):
* Drop swfdec-gnome.
* Make gnome depend on mozilla-plugin-gnash so that there’s at least
something for Flash websites.

Thanks.
I question the rationale. Many people would prefer Flash, annoying as
it is. I hate Flash, but have to have it for specific reasons. (Yes,
I'm aware that it's non-free. I'd rather have nothing, than have Gnash.
Sorry, Gnash devs, but that's the sad truth.)
