Those dependencies are no longer needed in Unstable and Testing since gdk-pixbuf handles that format via glycin (but only for Debian release architectures; ports still need the third-party gdk-pixbuf and thumbnailer packages). The Debian GNOME team hasn't decided yet how it wants to handle these packages. It sounds like you might want this fixed for Debian 13 too? In that case, we still need to do something for Unstable first. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
