Bug#755071: evince-gtk still necessary?

Package: evince-gtk
Version: 3.12.1-1
Severity: minor

Hi all,

I wonder if a separate evince-gtk package is still necessary at all. If I am
not mistaken, evince has only two more package dependencies than evince-gtk:
libnautilus-extension1a and libsecret-1-0.

Since evince-gtk identifies itself as "evince without GNOME keyring support", I
guess it is the second dependency that is meant to get removed by the separate
build. However, libsecret-1-0 has only two additional dependencies that aren't
pulled in by evince[-gtk] anyway: libgcrypt11 and libsecret-common, of which
the latter is an Arch: all package without further dependencies. The
libnautilus-extension1a package in turn pulls in libselinux1.

So, is this it? Do we really need a separate binary package of evince to avoid
the installation of four leaf packages?
