Bug#382871: gnome-desktop-environmenate: please only recommend gnome-games

[Lars Wirzenius]

Package: gnome-desktop-environment
Version: 1:2.14.2.1
Severity: wishlist

I would like to have a gameless GNOME desktop. The
gnome-desktop-environment package is otherwise quite good for my needs,
but the dependency on gnome-games irritates me. The games should be
optional, in my opinion.
