Bug#572009: meta-gnome2: let users selectively remove packages without removing the metapackages

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]

Package: meta-gnome2
Severity: wishlist

We get tons and tons of bug reports saying 'dont install this' or 'make this
an alternative to that' from people that generally like the metapackages
dependencies, except for one or two packages.

It would be useful if users could selectively remove packages without having
to remove the metapackages too.

Using recommends is not acceptable as when users upgrade from one version to
another, new packages won't be installed if they are only recommended.
