Unless the functionality is optional in the package (which is the case
of pidgin), the gconf2 dependency is still needed. Not because of the
scripts anymore, but because functionally, a binary shipped with gconf
schemas will usually require them to execute.

Otherwise, you might end up with the binary aborting on startup.

Cheers,
