eject is an indirect Recommends. The Debian GNOME team strongly urges
people to not disable installing Recommends unless you're very sure
you know what packages are missing.

nautilus depends on gvfs which depends on gvfs-daemons which depends
on udisks2 which recommends eject.

Nevertheless, I am making this a Depends now since the error popup
user experience is not good and we want things to work well for
everyone.
