I agree, and the dependency on libbrasero should indeed be demoted to a
Recommends.
However, gThumb is not safe when compiled with librasero support and run
without it. In fact, it's missing the library:

$ gthumb 
gthumb: error while loading shared libraries: libbrasero-burn.so.0: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
$

I'll forward this upstream, to see if they could use dlopen() for the
image-CD-burning code.


Kindly,
David
