X-Debbugs-CC: vino at packages.debian.org
cinnamon-desktop-environment has Recommends: vino | x2goserver
I suggest removing vino from the Recommends.
- Cinnamon is the only package in Debian with a package relationship
to vino. Once that's removed, the Debian GNOME team would remove vino
from Debian
- vino's last release was in 2016. It is currently archived which
means it's not possible to submit bug reports, bug fixes, or
translation updates for it.
- I personally am uncomfortable with the VNC protocol since it is not
very secure by default.
I understand that it is late in the Trixie release cycle so I consider
this more of a goal for Forky (although you could do this sooner if
you want).
Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
