Bug#837357: meld requires gnome-user-guide

Package: meld
Version: 3.16.2-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

meld automatically installs gnome-user-guide as a dependency. This is
completely unnecessary and gnome-user-guide can be manually removed
afterwards without breaking anything.

Instead of listing gnome-user-guide as a dependency, meld should only
recommend gnome-user-guide.

Thank you.
