One detail I only learned recently is that apt is configured to keep otherwise obsolete packages installed if they are still listed as Suggests when upgrading. I want to document this for our notes, thinking of adding a debian/README.source to meta-gnome3. Suggests sounds fine as a place to put things that are in upstream gnome-core that we are excluding from our default install. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
