Hello!

At First: Yes I know this is no real bug for the gnome metapackage, but its
easy for the maintainers of gnome to solve this issue. ;-)

Ive installed gnome, but this is not my standard desktop-environment. To play
videos in firefox/iceweasel I want to use mozilla-mlayer. But because gnome is
installed and it depends on totem-mozilla, the mozilla-mplayer plugin is not
usable anymore, because totem-mozilla is now the default player for most
mediatypes. Maybe this depends on the order in which the plugins are installed,
but this order gets ramdomized the next time one plugin is replaced by a newer
version.

The simplest solution would be to replace the "Depends:totem-mozilla" with a
Recommends or Suggests...

Thanks, Kiro
