Bug#473118: this isn't good enough...

[Lars Rune Nøstdal]

Gah. No, it is not possible to simply remove the 'gnome' meta-package
as this removes (at the next full-upgrade) a _number_ of other useful
packages like e.g. update-manager and several others.

Marking these packages as "manually installed" to avoid this is _not_
an acceptable solution as it means future changes wrt. what a "gnome
desktop" means and "contains" will not be kept in sync.

I have a very hard time seeing why line 36 in debain/control.in cannot
be changed to:

  tomboy (>= 1.0) [!mips !mipsel !alpha !hppa] | gnote,


*getting sick and tired of patching the gnome meta-package manually*
