[Python-modules-team] Bug#675456: Please drop depends on menu-xdg

[Michael Biebl]

Package: python-xdg
Version: 0.19-4
Severity: important

Hi,

please remove the dependency on menu-xdg. We do have several packages
depending on python-xdg and getting menu-xdg installed as well is an
unwanted side-effect.
The default /etc/xdg/menu/applications.menu was traditionally provided
by the gnome-menu package, but to not clutter the namespace this was
renamed to /etc/xdg/menu/gnome-applications.menu.
So you can either change the fallback to gnome-applications.menu (which
would basically give the same behaviour as falling back to
applications.menu) or python-xdg simply handles the case more gracefully
if no fallback menu file is installed.

Thanks,
Michael
