package: gdm3
version: 3.4.1-1
severity: normal

Hi,

The latest gdm3 uploads promoted metacity from a suggests to a
depends.  This pulls in many additional libraries (such as webkit),
which aren't really useful when gdm3 is only used as a simple login
manager.  By default recommends are installed, so I think that would
be a better place for this; since it makes it possible for users to be
selective.

Thanks,
Mike
