I didn't think that was insulting. It was an observation.

You didn't make any effort to encompass my vision,

You didn't seem to make any effort to consider that someone might not be interested in rhythmbox.

I think you're confusing gnome and gnome-desktop-environment.

I don't think so.

People wanting the GNOME desktop, and only that should install
gnome-desktop-environment.  gnome is a much wider set, pulling stuff
like evolution, or gnome-office.

Neither of which is a network service...

Again, you seem to miss the point of gnome versus
gnome-desktop-environment.

Please explain it. Are you suggesting that *everything* in debian that uses gnome should be installed when someone select "gnome"? Because that's not the case. The gnome package is an arbitrary set of packages, and there is no reason that a particular music player has to be in it.

take the problem the next step (since evidently you wanted to bypass me
by bringing that at the GNOME team scope)

Why is that bypassing you? You can manage your package any way you want to. I think it's wrong, but that's fine. I don't see why you believe that means that your package *has to be* installed by default for anyone who wants gnome.
