Package: gnome-desktop-environment
Version: 1:2.20.2.1
Severity: normal

AFAICT, gnome-desktop-environment depends on libgnome2-perl for no reason. This package contains no actual data, and therefore it cannot be a necessary dependency. I also don't see dependencies on the corresponding python packages, so it cannot be for developers.

Therefore, I would request that you please remove this dependency on libgnome2-perl.

 I think the changelog is enough documentation for people chasing
 non-trivial information and it has a pointer to a Debian bug.
