Please also remove these redundant files: gnustep-dl2.postinst,
gnustep-dl2.postrm, shlibs.libgnustep-dl2-0.

Well, I don't think it's possible at all.  The adaptors link against
EOControl and EOAccess, and EOAccess requires at least one adaptor to
be present.

Hmm, that was somewhat a wrong advice.  The GDL2 palette links against
libGorm, so gorm.app should be present to satisfy the dependency.
OTOH, the palette is only useful with Gorm, so it is perhaps OK to
leave it in Recommends.

Or better yet, just remove it both from Depends: and Recommends:,
because the dependency on gorm.app is added via shlibs:Depends and
gorm.app's own shlib file.  Please also file an important bug against
gorm.app that the public libraries ought to be split.


BTW, you have to adjust the gnustep-dl2.install file, because:

$ ls debian/gnustep-dl2/usr/lib/
GNUstep  libEOModeler.so  libEOModeler.so.0  libEOModeler.so.0.12.0

There's also one empty directory:
I: gnustep-dl2-sqlite-adaptor: package-contains-empty-directory
usr/lib/GNUstep/Frameworks/SQLite3EOAdaptor.framework/Versions/0/Headers/
