Bug#363579: No, gnome-icon-theme isn't needed

[James Blanford]

Package: libgnomeprintui2.2-common
Version: 2.12.1-3

While upgrading to the latet version of libgnomeprintui2.2-common, I was
informed that I would need to install four new packages, with a total
installed size of about 12 megabytes.  I looked at the changelog and
noticed the entry (referring to gnome-icon-theme), "Make it a
dependency, after all it's needed."

Excuse me for my ignorance (and for being stubborn), but I've been using
libgnomeprintui2.2-common for some time now and have never encountered a
need for gnome-icon-theme.  I certainly have no personal use for them
and I don't believe I even have a venue to display them.

No, I don't use gnome.  I use libgnomeprintui2.2 to provide a WYSIWYG
interface for abiword, built without gnome support.

My suggested remedy would be to make gnome-icon-theme a "Recommends".
Anyone installing with the installer, aptitude or apt-get install will
have it pulled-in automatically.  Stubborn minimalists like myself will
know how to avoid it.
