Followup-For: Bug #689858
Dear Maintainer,
I upgraded my stable distribution (with wheezy-updates repository at the time).
There was a conflict between xul-ext-adblock-plus and icedove and some of
icedove's extensions. Since there is a dependency on the gnome meta
Could this dependency please be dropped? I understand that metapackages
are not a supermarket but having gnome depend on adblock-plus seems like a
violation of the debian package policy which states:
The Depends field should be used if the depended-on package is required
for the depending package
Agreed, what is the point of making this a required dependency ?

Severity: normal
The package gnome depends on the package xul-ext-adblock-plus as Required
for a week or two.
This is uncalled for. Don't patronize us users on the set of Firefox plugins,
especially near-censorship like ones!
Therefore, please move the dependency
