I'm surprised to hear that gnome-core requires gnash. It's certainly not
the case on Lenny:
I it was introduced into squeeze yesterday (source package meta-gnome2
2.28+6 transitioned to squeeze on 2010-03-16). The reason seems to be
that swfdec was removed. The changelog[0] for meta-gnome2 says (among
other things):
* Drop swfdec-gnome.
* Make gnome depend on mozilla-plugin-gnash so that there’s at least
something for Flash websites.
The changelog appears to refer to the gnome metapackage rather than
gnome-core.
The changelog refers to meta-gnome2, which is a source package from
which the three binary packages gnome, gnome-core and
gnome-desktop-environment (and some more packages) are built.
Thus, the changelog holds for the source package, and I do not know how
to see what change holds for which binary package. I do not even know if
binary packages can have changelogs separate form their source packages.
The changelog quote was intended to answer the question why things are
different in squeeze than in lenny.
Looking at the binary packages, I agree that the packages gnome-core and
gnome-desktop environment do not depend on gnash, whereas gnome does
(via the mozilla plugin).
