I compared cinnamon package dependencies with upstream and I have doubts 
about some of them.

On build-dep I saw libwnck-dev on upstream missed on debian, is not 
needed and correct?
I also saw some build-deps that debian have but missed upstream on which 
I have no certainties with a quick check:
libecal1.2-dev, libfolks-dev, libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0-dev, 
libmozjs185-dev, libtelepathy-glib-dev, libtelepathy-logger-dev, 
libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev, libgl1-mesa-dev
are all needed for build on "clean basic system" and should be added 
also upstream?

About cinnamon package depends:
- python-opencv on upstream is dependency but on debian recently added 
only as suggest, why? I think can be good add it as dependency instead.
- metacity and gnome-panel|tint2 are dependencies on upstream but not on 
debian, seemunnecessary dependenciesto remove in the upstream, right?
- upstream have these additional recommends: gnome-themes-standard and 
gnome-terminal, can be useful or not?
- upstream on provides have also notification-daemon, is correct and 
should be added also on debian?

Thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english.
