Hi,

The depends on gnome-control-center was added after a bug report,
211087. If the behaviour described there is still present, the Depends
should probably stay. 

Maybe you can rebuild gnome-terminal without this and see how it
behaves?


BTW, at least some of the packages listed above seems to be only
recommended by gnome-control-center, for
example evolution-data-server. 

Another idea is to try xfce4-terminal instead, from the description "For
people that already know GNOME 2 terminal and are searching for a
lighter but comparable replacement", it sounds like it might suit you
better?
