Simple. I find it extremely distressing that such a major piece of our
distribution is maintained by a person who, until I pointed out
otherwise:
1) didn't know how conffiles worked (Bug #143018);
2) doesn't read, or does not understand, the Debian Policy Manual
regarding X-based packages;
3) doesn't understand that if your package A depends on B, and B Depends
on C, that it doesn't make any sense for your package to recommend B
GNOME is both highly complex and widely used, and therefore needs a
maintainer who is familiar and comfortable with the Debian packaging
system and the Policy manual. If you do not subscribe to
debian-mentors, perhaps you should.
By the way, your new upload of gnome-print continues to betray an
incomplete grasp of 3) above:
Package: libgnomeprint-data
Version: 0.35-5
Section: libs
Priority: optional
Architecture: all
Depends: libgnomeprint-bin (>= 0.32-1), gs
Recommends: gsfonts, gsfonts-x11
Suggests: gsfonts-other
Replaces: libgnomeprint6, gnome-print
Installed-Size: 1516
Maintainer: Christian Marillat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Source: gnome-print
To follow up on my suggestion that you consult with a Debian "mentor", I
suggest the following relationships:
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, gs
Suggests: gsfonts-other, gsfonts-x11
