[Test Case] * Install system-config-printer-gnome, and verify that python-gobject is not installed with it. * If it is already installed, you should be able to run 'apt-get purge python-gobject' without removing system-config-printer-gnome. [Regression Potential] Negligible. There are no code changes. The fix only removes a dependency on a transitional package that doesn't provide any files.
