  Subj: Bug#1117865: gnome-core has overly stric  
 Package: gnome-core 
 Version: 1:48+2 
  
 gnome-core declares a dependency on totem (>= 43) | showtime (>= 48). 
  
 IMO this is unnecessarily strict. A variety of media players are available 
 for 
 GNOME aside from totem or showtime. Celluloid [1], Clapper [2], and possibly 
 others also exist and are perfectly usable/integrated in a GNOME 
 environment. 
  
 Since the user may opt for a different Gtk-based media player, in my opinion 
 this dependency is better relegated to the "Recommends: ..." area. 
  
 This was observed on Debian Trixie/13.
