Package: gnome
Version: 1:2.30+7
Severity: normal
The dependency of gnome on totem-mozilla violates Debian Policy (3.5), as totem-mozilla is NOT required for gnome to run properly. This annoying wrong dependency has been reported since 2006 and is not yet fixed. Should be altered to Recommendation or Suggestion, the latter seems most appropriate.
