Is this something that should be (have - but it's never too late) in the release-notes and/or some NEWS.Debian? could explain what gnome provides and say it's optional - what is the user-visible feature that inputting this info provides (I assume it syncs email or something, but then it's not obvious to me why that entered into gnome and not some other software)?
