Public bug reported:

It is possible to install tracker without the package tracker-miner-fs.
But without this package tracker is completely helpless and even unable
to produce a meaningful error message:

tracker-control -S

will crash in this case, the gui tools won't tell that anything is
wrong.


Why this is bad: 
 - If on a minimal system the "gnome" virtual package is installed tracker is 
automatically installed without a tracker.

Notes:
 - A google and a package search didn't give a hint that any other tracker than 
tracker-miner-fs currently exists. We should be prepared for new miners to 
appear, though.
