The OLPC guys are asking me to split the Python bindings for libgnome
and libgnomeui into a new subpackage of gnome-python2 called
gnome-python2-gnome (see [1]). The rationale being that libgnome drags
in extra dependencies that some of the other gnome-python2 subpackages
don't need. For example, gnome-python2-gnomevfs doesn't need libgnome
but still requires its parent package, gnome-python2.

This sounds like a reasonable idea to me but it will break other
packages that require gnome-python2 expecting to get the libgnome[ui]
bindings. Those packages would have to require gnome-python2-gnome
instead.

Possibly affected packages include:

audit-viewer
autobuild-applet
awn-extras-applets
blogtk
decibel-audio-player
deskbar-applet
fwbackups
gjots2
gnome-password-generator
gnome-python2-desktop
gnome-python2-extras
gourmet
gramps
hamster-applet
hwbrowser
listen
meld
policycoreutils-gui
qa-assistant
rhythmbox
setroubleshoot
system-config-bind
system-config-cluster
system-config-httpd
system-config-lvm
system-config-netboot
system-config-network
system-config-printer
wallpapoz

Any objections or alternate suggestions?

Thank,
Matthew Barnes

Not affected by these. It only uses gnome.url_show.
