Bug#355064: gnome shouldn't depend on rhythmbox

Package: gnome
Severity: wishlist

gnome depends on rhythmbox, which depends on avahi-daemon, which starts
up a network daemon. The rhythmbox maintainer does not seem to want to
reconsider this, as he considers automated network music sharing
essential to the application. IMO, people who want a gnome desktop
should not have this service enabled as a side effect. Please remove
rhythmbox from the gnome dependency list to make it easier for users to
decide whether they want this functionality.
