Package: gnome-utils<br>
Version: 2.30.0-1<br>
<br>
Please split the gnome-utils package into a binary package per
application.<br>
<br>
The primary reason for splitting is for consistency:<br>
- For users there is no logical connection between the applications,
i.e. baobab and gnome-screenshot are no more related than baobab and
gcalctool.<br>
- We are exposing a development process convenience to users.<br>
- The current method for removing these applications is to to disable
their menus. This is inconsistent with other applications where you
can use the standard package management tools.<br>
- Removing from the menu does not stop a user from running these tools
from the command line. A sysadmin may want only a subset of these
tools exposed to their users.<br>
<br>
I tried to make a Debian patch from the Ubuntu package [1], but I ran
into trouble with the .install files - the Debian package has a more
complex build system. Also note I dropped the ancient Conflicts that
don't seem to exist anymore.<br>
