Package: gnome
Version: 1:2.30+1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

currently the gnome meta-package pulls in the arj package. The only reason I
can imagine to install this package in the conetxt of GNOME is file-roller's
ability to handle its archives. However, file-roller already suggests the arj
package and given the availability of arj archives nowadays, I doubt a depends
(or even recommends) relationship would be justified.

Cheers,
Fabian
