Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:46.3-1
Severity: normal

Version 1:46.3-1 re-added the Depends on gnome-remote-desktop, citing
upstream #2977. However, upstream issue 2977
(https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/2977) is
just "Remote Desktop page is empty when gnome-remote-desktop is
missing".
It would certainly be *better* if this settings page either didn't exist
or existed and said "GNOME Remote Desktop is not installed", but that
seems like a minor issue that doesn't merit a "Depends". It certainly
merits a "Recommends", and it's still worth fixing for usability
reasons, but there don't appear to be any crashes, misbehavior, or other
problems that arise from this, just a missing settings page when the
software isn't installed.
Please consider changing the Depends back to a Recommends.
