GNOME Shell is runtime dependency for chrome-gnome-shell [1], while
chrome-gnome-shell do not needed for GNOME Shell to work.
>From that point of view chrome-gnome-shell may be a "post-install"
dependency for GNOME Shell, however I'm unsure how this type of
dependencies is handled in Debian (in Gentoo Linux it's called
"post-merge" dependency - "PDEPEND"). And indeed gnome-shell should be
runtime dependency for chrome-gnome-shell.
