Package: debhelper Version: 7.9.3 Severity: normal I wanted to install mumble and it depends on gconf2, though it doesn't use it. It seems the dependency only gets in because dh_gconf is used to install a gconf default file (a URL handler).
I've looked at dh_gconf and it only installs files that might or might not be used by gconf. Still it adds a dependency to gconf2. I think this is wrong, since gconf2 is not really required. Programmes that do require gconf will have a dependency through shlibdeps, anyway. Please remove adding a dependency to gconf2 from dh_gconf.
