Bug#473118: this isn't good enough...

Here's a list of some of the packages which are removed when Tomboy
--and thus--> Gnome is removed:

  * update-manager and update-notifier
  * system-config-printer and hal-cups-utils (no more printing for you)
  * network-manager-gnome (you like dealing with networking options
using a Gnome UI tool? no more of that)
  * gnome-volume-manager (no more nice handling and mounting of
disk/usb/cd events for you)
  * gdebi (no more convenient installation of .deb-files for you)
  * policykit (no more nice handling of privileges for you and your software)


So people are left with a _worthless_ screwed up "desktop".

So, nah ... You can take your little "political debate" and shove it
up your hostile, tight arses. Linux and its pathetic half-arsed
"community" of retarded shiny-eyed gadget-kids making fun of people
like RMS who (at the age of about 60 now) at least has a working GOD
DAMN memory can fuck off at this point.

I'm going to spend the day _purging_ all traces of the recently turned
hostile and inflexible thing that is Debian from my systems. I'm
considering Ubuntu which IIUC has Tomboy marked as a "weak link"
`Recommends' instead of a "strong link" `Requires', and thus solves
the problem neatly. I've also looked at Kubuntu even though I haven't
used or tried KDE since the early 2.x days.

..anyway; good riddance to you people and your little "debate".
