Package: gnome
Version: 1:2.26+0
Severity: serious

Even if tomboy and gnote are optional in Recommends tomboy (and 50MB 
mono) 
are installed by 
apt-get. This is very unfortunate, The user should have the 
choice to avoid installing mono (and .NET, C# related) stuff when 
installing gnome!
This is mainly due to the potential problems with mono as free software 
in the future.
