Package: gcalctool
Version: 5.22.3-2
Severity: normal

The dependency on the huge package gnome-icon-theme is a problem
for users of machines with very small disk space (in particular).
Moreover, if I understand correctly, gnome-icon-theme is something
for GNOME users, and not everyone uses GTK+ applications with
GNOME.

It should be more like a Recommends (or gnome-icon-theme should be
split so that gcalctool can depend only on a package that provides
a minimal set of icons, e.g. for non-GNOME users).
