Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.28.0-1
Severity: normal

For gnome-session 2.26.2-1, gnome-session depended on metacity |
compiz-gnome | sawfish. In gnome-session 2.28.0-1, the compiz-gnome
alternative was replaced by mutter. As mutter is not near feature parity
with compiz-gnome yet, would it be possible to add compiz-gnome back
into the alternative dependency list for gnome-session? Or is there some
service that metacity, mutter, and sawfish provide that compiz-gnome
does not?
