With upstream I have just discussed that we will switch over to using  
zenity with the MATE desktop environment. This is on the agenda for  
MATE 1.10 anyway.

We will provide patch 1.8 package versions that already go that path.  
So reassigning to the marco package (which is the only package that  
has mate-dialogs as hard dependency).
