Bug#532515: Bug#491840: Use gnote as alternative

Package: gnome
Version: 1:2.28+4
Severity: normal

It seems that these debates about including gnote or tomboy always end getting a bit heated, both in forums and in bug reports. As a user, I would like to say that you devs are doing a great job with Debian, and whatever final decision you make will surely be the best (and if it is not, no problem, nothing is perfect).

I just want to note that, although gnote provides tomboy, since gnome depends on tomboy >= 1.0 and gnote is on version 0.6.2, it is not currently valid as an alternative. Maybe dependencies of the gnome metapackage could be changed so people interested in using gnote could install it without losing other packages.

Thank you very much for your efforts and great job. Best regards,
Juan.
