Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.8+8
Severity: wishlist
This came up at a DebConf discussion around gnupg2. Right now gnupg-agent
(required by newer gnupg versions) needs a pinentry program (basically a
program that prompts for a PIN or password). Right now it depends on
pinentry-gtk2, which gives a good experience for users with a desktop
environment but pulls in a lot of dependencies for a non-graphical system.
So we would like to switch to pinentry-curses instead to lighten the
dependency load, but we'd also not like to regress the experience for
users of graphical desktops. So if it was added to the task package then
those users would get the better experience and we could move the default
depedency to pinentry-curses.
I suspect Recommends would also be a strong enough dependency relationship
for this purpose. Thanks for your consideration.
