Package: libgnome-keyring0
Version: 2.28.2-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

recommending gnome-keyring in the libgnome-keyring0 package will make
apt installing gnome-keyring by default if one installs *any* package
linked with libgnome-keyring0, even when it does not make much sense for
a particular program (apparently you can use gnome-keyring with evince,
but I doubt many people do so…).

For this reason it would be better if programs recommend the daemon
instead of the library recommending it.  So please consider lowering the
recommendation to a suggestion.

Regards,
Ansgar
