Package: gnome
Severity: wishlist
gnome depends on rhythmbox, which depends on avahi-daemon, which starts
up a network daemon. The rhythmbox maintainer does not seem to want to
reconsider this, as he considers automated network music sharing
essential to the application. IMO, people who want a gnome desktop
should not have this service enabled as a side effect. Please remove
rhythmbox from the gnome dependency list to make it easier for users to
decide whether they want this functionality.

Description: The GNOME Desktop Environment, with extra components
This is the GNOME Desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive
desktop, with extra components.
.
This package depends on the standard distribution of the GNOME desktop
environment, plus a complete range of plugins and other applications
integrating with GNOME and Debian, providing the best possible
environment to date.
avahi-daemon is one of the extra components in the description. If you don't
want it, you can remove it and install e.g. gnome-desktop-environment (which
only depends on the GNOME desktop).
