Bug#1026244: gnome-remote-desktop: No support for VNC

[Ben Westover]

Package: gnome-remote-desktop
X-Debbugs-Cc: me at benthetechguy.net
Version: 43.2-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When I run grdctl, none of the VNC-related options are available. I see
that the Debian packaging has chosen not to build it. Why is this? I
need to use VNC for my job, and gnome-remote-desktop is the only
solution I know of that supports Wayland well.

At the very least, if adding VNC back to the package isn't an option,
can it at least be removed from the package description?

It's a bit misleading to say your package supports VNC when it doesn't.

Thanks,
