My point was simply to say that this issue should not be labeled
'grave', meaning that the problem rates package removal from the
repository to resolve.

Hi Dave,

OK, you are the upstream author, and of course you have designed
gnome-gmail for Gnome. Maybe you haven't tested it under other desktop
environments... Now I've installed Gnome to test the behavior in its home.
Surprising, after installing gnome-core with all of its dependencies
gnome-gmail works as expected! But I was too lazy to log out and log in
again to switch the DE, it works under KDE!

So it is as I already wrote, there are some dependencies missing, it's not
about some "installation experience". Each package provided in the Debian
repositories must have complete runtime dependencies. Please don't assume
each gnome-gmail user has anyway Gnome installed.

To refine the choice of possible missing dependencies: First I installed
gnome-keyring and python-gnomekeyring. Then gnome-core, and the following
dependencies have been installed:
