How so? Please show me a case where the bug will still be here. > You should _never_ exclude anything for the calculation of the > dependencies, because it will result in such errors.

As such, its dependencies can go in the Recommends: field. The bug was that these dependencies were missing indirect libraries the binary actually requires. > So gconf-sanity-check-2 (from the libgconf2-4 package) NEEDS > libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 from the libpango1.0-0 package.

Nothing linking with libgconf2-4 will stop working when these dependencies aren't installed. Some optional functionality will, but it is not part of the functionality packages using libgconf2-4 actually need. > It seems to be: libgtk-x11-2, libgconf-2, libpopt, libgobject-2, > libpthread, libglib-2 and libc. > > So make it only link to those libraries instead.

Is dh_fixperms a last resort option when you cannot fix the build system to install files with proper permissions? Even with a fixed build system, you still use dh_fixperms, just to be sure. The same goes for --as-needed. As for relibtoolizing, it is currently not possible to relibtoolize all GNOME packages, because of a lack of manpower. If you want to see them relibtoolized, you'd better get libtool upstream to accept the Debian patches. Even with relibtoolized packages, the problem remains, because of pkg-config. As GNOME headers have a spurious tendency to include headers from most of their dependencies, it isn't possible to move them to private dependencies. Regards, -- .''`.
