Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.22.0-2
Severity: wishlist

I do not understand the new gnome-power-manager dependency in gnome-session.

I grepped through the gnome session source and couldn't find any reference to
either gnome-power-manager or its dbus interface.

So I tried to remove gnome-power-manger using dpkg -P --force-depends and
gnome-session seems to work perfectly. Am I missing something or should
gnome-power-manager be a Recommends: ?
