Package: glade-gnome-2
Version: 2.6.0-1
Severity: normal

glade-gnome-2 has inflated dependencies. It declares a Depends: on
	libaudiofile0
	libesd0 | libesd-alsa0
	libgcrypt7
	libglib2.0-0
	libgnome-keyring0
	libgnutls10
	libgpg-error0
	libjpeg62
	libtasn1-2
but doesn't actually reference any symbols from these libraries which are only
used indirectly (through libraries glade-gnome2 really does depend on).

glade-2 should be relibtoolised (see
http://people.debian.org/~keybuk/libtool-pass_all.html) with a current libtool
so its binary packages will not have inflated dependencies.
