 I'm not sure this is a good idea; it rather belong to some higher level
 meta package.  Check libgnomevfs2-extra, it's pulled by
 gnome-desktop-environment.  I'm not sure it's useful to Recommend it as
 well from libgnomevfs2-0.

 In particular, note that the Depends of gnome-mount are *HUGE*
 (you might want to try --as-needed).  The Depends of libgnomevfs2-extra
 are moderate in comparison.
