This is what I think also.
I think it was mistakenly added as a dependency as a shortcut to save games 
packages from requiring it (by me).

A fix would be:
- drop ggzmod dependency on ggzcore-bin
- make all games packages depend on ggzcore-bin (they already build-depend on 
it by way of ggzmod-dev (which depends on ggzmod), and should then directly 
build-depend on it in addition)

Hence, all games will depend on ggzcore also, but they already do this through 
ggzmod.

Nevertheless we should make ggzmod let recommend ggzcore-bin, if possible.

Whatever the outcome, docs/ggz-project/ggz-dependencies should be updated then 
to reflect the decision, because it is a bit vague on this at the moment.

Note that the 0.0.13 packages of GGZ are "unclean" since some core clients 
need ggz-config for no real reason to build from source. This will be fixed 
in 0.0.14. But this is certainly unrelated to the circular dependency 
problem.
