Package: gnome Version: 1:3.14+1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
the introduction of "recommends xul-ext-adblock-plus" is uncalled for. This has already been discussed in quite some length in #689858 (merged with #715555 and #721516) where a number of reasons for that have been given. Some of them were due to this beeing a "depends" back then, but all other reasons are still valid. The most important one to me continues to be that a desktop environment and this browser extension have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Except that for both a browser is definitely helpful. So if anything then iceweasel should maybe suggest its extensions. But also note that gnome is the only reverse dependency of adblock-plus, which imho speaks for itself. Users who think they want an adblocker should conciously decide to install it and not having it sneaked into their install by a recommends. <rant> Somewhat off-topic and more on the more philosophical front: "the internet" is largely paid for by ads and if you don't like how ads are used by some websites then you are free to not visit them. This "recommends" causes most users of gnome (the ones who do not cherry-pick their recommends) to not pay for some of the traffic, and thereby the cost, that they are causing. This even led some site owners launching campaigns agains adblockers. Like this one (in German) : http://www.spiegel.de/dienste/spiegel-online-schalten-sie-den-adblocker-bitte- ab-a-888158.html . Ok, this not been specific to gnome. :) </rant> Thank you, Andreas -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome depends on: ii alacarte 3.11.91-2 ii avahi-daemon 0.6.31-4+b1 ii cheese 3.14.1-2 ii cups-pk-helper 0.2.5-2+b1 ii desktop-base 7.0.3 ii evolution 3.12.7-1 ii evolution-plugins 3.12.7-1 ii file-roller 3.14.1-1 ii gedit 3.14.0-2 ii gedit-plugins 3.14.0-2 ii gimp 2.8.14-1+b1 ii gitg 0.2.7-3 ii gnome-color-manager 3.14.1-1 ii gnome-core 1:3.14+1 ii gnome-documents 3.14.1-1 ii gnome-games 1:3.14+1 ii gnome-logs 3.14.2-1 ii gnome-maps 3.14.1.2-1 ii gnome-music 3.14.1-1 ii gnome-nettool 3.8.1-1 ii gnome-orca 3.14.0-2 ii gnome-photos 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-shell-extensions 3.14.1-1 ii gnome-sound-recorder 3.14.0.1-1 ii gnome-tweak-tool 3.14.0-1 ii gstreamer1.0-libav 1.4.4-2 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly 1.4.4-2 ii hamster-applet 2.91.3+git20120514.b9fec3e1-1 ii inkscape 0.48.5-3 ii libgtk2-perl 2:1.2492-3 ii libreoffice-calc 1:4.3.3-1 ii libreoffice-gnome 1:4.3.3-1 ii libreoffice-impress 1:4.3.3-1 ii libreoffice-writer 1:4.3.3-1 ii nautilus-sendto 3.8.2-1 ii network-manager-gnome 0.9.10.0-2 ii polari 3.14.1-1 ii rhythmbox 3.1-1 ii rhythmbox-plugin-cdrecorder 3.1-1 ii rhythmbox-plugins 3.1-1 ii rygel 0.24.1-1 ii rygel-playbin 0.24.1-1 ii seahorse 3.14.0-1 ii shotwell 0.20.1-1 ii simple-scan 3.15.1-1 ii sound-juicer 3.14.0-1+b1 ii telepathy-gabble 0.18.3-1+b1 ii telepathy-rakia 0.8.0-3 ii telepathy-salut 0.8.1-4 ii tomboy 1.14.1-3 ii totem 3.14.0-2 ii totem-plugins 3.14.0-2 ii tracker-gui 1.2.4-1 ii transmission-gtk 2.84-0.1+b1 ii vinagre 3.14.1-1 ii xdg-user-dirs-gtk 0.10-1 Versions of packages gnome recommends: pn browser-plugin-gnash <none> ii gdebi 0.9.5.5+nmu1 ii gnome-software 3.14.2-1 ii telepathy-idle 0.2.0-2 Versions of packages gnome suggests: pn dia-gnome <none> pn gnome-boxes <none> pn gnucash <none> pn iceweasel-l10n-all <none> ii libreoffice-evolution 1:4.3.3-1 pn planner <none> pn xul-ext-adblock-plus <none> pn xul-ext-gnome-keyring <none> Versions of packages gnome-core depends on: ii adwaita-icon-theme 3.14.0-2 ii at-spi2-core 2.14.0-1 ii baobab 3.14.1-1 ii brasero 3.11.4-1 ii caribou 0.4.15-1 ii caribou-antler 0.4.15-1 ii dconf-gsettings-backend 0.22.0-1 ii dconf-tools 0.22.0-1 ii empathy 3.12.7-1 ii eog 3.14.1-1 ii evince 3.14.1-1 ii evolution-data-server 3.12.7.1-2 ii fonts-cantarell 0.0.16-1 ii gdm3 3.14.1-3 ii gkbd-capplet 3.6.0-1 ii glib-networking 2.42.0-2 ii gnome-backgrounds 3.14.1-1 ii gnome-bluetooth 3.14.0-2 ii gnome-calculator 3.14.1-1 ii gnome-contacts 3.14.1-1 ii gnome-control-center 1:3.14.1-1 ii gnome-dictionary 3.14.1-1 ii gnome-disk-utility 3.12.1-1+b1 ii gnome-font-viewer 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-keyring 3.14.0-1+b1 ii gnome-menus 3.13.3-2 ii gnome-online-accounts 3.14.1-1 ii gnome-online-miners 3.14.0-2 ii gnome-packagekit 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-screenshot 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-session 3.14.0-2 ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.14.1-1 ii gnome-shell 3.14.1-2 ii gnome-sushi 3.12.0-2+b1 ii gnome-system-log 3.9.90-2 ii gnome-system-monitor 3.14.1-1 ii gnome-terminal 3.14.1-1 ii gnome-themes-standard 3.14.0-1 ii gnome-user-guide 3.14.1-1 ii gnome-user-share 3.14.0-2 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.14.1-1 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-base 1.4.4-2 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-good 1.4.4-2 ii gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio 1.4.4-2 ii gtk2-engines 1:2.20.2-3 ii gucharmap 1:3.14.1-1 ii gvfs-backends 1.22.1-1 ii gvfs-bin 1.22.1-1 ii gvfs-fuse 1.22.1-1 ii iceweasel 31.2.0esr-3 ii libatk-adaptor 2.14.0-2 ii libcanberra-pulse 0.30-2.1 ii libcaribou-gtk-module 0.4.15-1 ii libcaribou-gtk3-module 0.4.15-1 ii libgtk-3-common 3.14.5-1 ii libpam-gnome-keyring 3.14.0-1+b1 ii lxsession [policykit-1-gnome] 0.5.1-1 ii metacity 1:3.14.3-1 ii mousetweaks 3.12.0-1 ii nautilus 3.14.1-2 ii notification-daemon 0.7.6-2 ii plasma-widgets-workspace [notification-daemon] 4:4.11.13-2 ii policykit-1-gnome 0.105-2 ii pulseaudio 5.0-13 ii sound-theme-freedesktop 0.8-1 ii tracker-gui 1.2.4-1 ii vino 3.14.0-2+b1 ii xfce4-notifyd [notification-daemon] 0.2.4-3 ii yelp 3.14.1-1 ii zenity 3.14.0-1 Versions of packages gnome-core recommends: ii anacron 2.3-22 ii network-manager-gnome 0.9.10.0-2 gnome-core suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
