Pulseaudio removed in MATE 1.10 in unstable

[Cam Hutchison]

Hi,

Is this the correct way to contact the Debian MATE developers?

I am upgrading my unstable system that currently has MATE installed. The
MATE packages I have explicitly installed (i.e. not auto-installed) are:
  atril
  mate-applets
  mate-desktop-environment
  mate-icon-theme-faenza
  mate-media
  mate-power-manager
  mate-sensor-applet
  mate-themes
  mate-utils

As I try to upgrade mate-desktop-environment, apt wants to remove the
pulseaudio package. This is because it is automatically installed and now
no longer needed. It seems it is no longer needed because
mate-settings-daemon no longer depends on mate-settings-daemon-pulse as it
now replaces it. However the new 1.10 mate-settings-daemon pulse does not
depend on pulseaudio.

Is this intentional? Since the pulseaudio package contains the pulseaudio
daemon, it seems I will need to explicitly install pulseaudio or lose
sound. This behaviour seems to be incorrect for an upgrade.

Also, the Debian MATE wiki still says v1.8 of MATE is in unstable and
testing.

Thanks
