Bug#749888: gnome-terminal: FTBFS on kfreebsd & hurd archs

[Robert Millan]

Hi,

I find it very strange that a terminal application needs gnome-shell. There are
dozens of terminal applications, and so far they seem to manage without dragging
their own desktop environment of choice with them.

Which makes me wonder: Does gnome-terminal actually work without gnome-shell? Is
this setup properly tested and supported by upstream?

In other words, does upstream release procedure account for the possibility
that one might want to use gnome-terminal without gnome-shell, and do their
QA procedures ensure that the resulting package will be usable?

I fully expect a "yes" as answer.

If that's not the case, then I think it'd be much better to change Architecture
field instead so that it's only built on archs where it's actually supported.
