Bug#1078802: gnome-core: Demote gnome-keyring to allow use of other secret service providers

Package: gnome-core
Version: 1:46+2
If someone wants to use a different secret service, like keepassxc,
then existing one must be disabled. Since it is almost impossible to
disable gnome-keyring without resorting to ugly hacks, a user will try
to uninstall gnome-keyring itself, since it is not really needed.
But since gnome-core depends on gnome-keyring, apt will also uninstall
gnome-core, gnome, evolution, etc.
This behaviour is anti-user choice. Please demote gnome-keyring to
recommends.
Thanks,
Siddh
