hmm, before the "gwc" package had a "gnome-wave-cleaner" binary (so the
package name differs from the binary name, but is an abbreviation), and
now it would have a "gtk-wave-cleaner"  (so the package name still
differs from the binary name, and is still an abbreviation).
i honestly fail to see how this would warrant a package rename.
