 WTF. Shouldn't that be a recommends?
 
 Seems like a bug to me.

Remember, that it's the Debian Gnome Team who thought it would be a
great idea that 'gnome' metapackage would depend on Adblock Plus
Firefox extension. Took about a year [1] to convince them not to do it.
So, if you have free time to spare you're free to fill an appropriate
bug.

I don't use GNOME, so I'll leave that to you. :)
GNOME is one of the reasons I use a Window Manager. :)

Nah, I'll pass. Stopped using GNOME back in 2007, never looked back
