Personally I would not mind, but I don't know if no one is really using
it (I hope it can be used, although not really relied upon). Maybe
someone from gnome-team would like to do a rebuild-only upload to fix
the dependency?

BTOH, doing a temporary removal would have its advantanges... IMHO, the
source package should be renamed from gnome-db2 to mergeant, and I think
it needs to be removed and uploaded with the new name (that is, if the
ppl agree with me), right?
