Bug#401928: Please register all schemas on install

Package: gconf2
Version: 2.16.0-3
Severity: wishlist

Currently, if a package wishes to install gconf schemas properly, it has
to depend on gconf2 even if gconf is not required to use the package,
since gconf-schemas is called in the package's postinst. gconf2's
postinst should register everything it finds on install, so individual
packages' postinsts can skip running gconf-schemas if gconf2 is not
installed.
