Bug#924404: gnome should Recommends: gnome-paint or similar

[Alexander Kurtz]

Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.22+13
Severity: minor

Hi!

I recently needed to quickly highlight an area on a screenshot and
found that I had no application capable of that already installed. I
previously used GIMP for this, but it seems it got removed from gnome's
Recommends: because of #883440 [0] and #883441 [1] and was consequently
no longer installed on my system.

While I can understand the reasoning given in these bugs, I think
having no application for simple image editing available per default 
is a bad user experience. I have just installed gnome-paint and it did
what I wanted it do, but your experience may obviously vary. However,
please consider adding a Recommends: to either gnome-paint or a similar
application so simple use cases like the one described above work out
of the box once again!

Best regards

Alexander Kurtz
