Bug#682915: gnome-orca should depend on libgail-common

Package: gnome-orca
Version: 3.4.2-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

I installed a Debian wheezy fresh. Then I set up orca.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I opened two apps, then I pressed alt-tab to tooggle between them. At this moment, orca doesn't read the title of every window while I release alt-tab. I only know where I am once I release the keys. It's not convinient at all to browse between various windows.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

orca doesn't say the titles of the window while I release alt-tab.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Normally, orca should say when I arrive on a window the title, before I release alt-tab, so that, if it's not what I want, I press again tab and can quickly see opened windows.

*** End of the template - remove these lines ***

NOTE: 
This bug is fixed if I install libgail-common.
Instead of disappointing a blind user newbie who just wants Debian to work,
you should add libgail-common as dependency, so that it's installed with orca.

Best regards,
