Yes, it does.

It is still possible to install metacity without Gnome, ending up with
"a blank chequerboard backdrop and no apparent way to do anything". No
icons, no menu, nothing. <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<Backspace> seems to be the only
way out of it.

Shouldn't this bug be of a much higher severity? The current
depends do not fullfill "The Depends field should be used if the
depended-on package is required for the depending package to provide a
significant amount of functionality."
