retitle 625567 gstreamer0.10-plugins-good must depend on gstreamer0.10-gconf for wheezy
thanks
Common practice in Debian:
When you split a package out of your package, you should depend on it
for the next stable release.
This ensures that everyone doing a dist-upgrade from the current stable
to the next stable will have the splitted-out package installed if he
had the original package installed.
That avoids many possible problems, including helping non-packaged
software to continue working after the upgrade.
Debian has a reputation for working upgrades, and avoiding problems is
more important than a few unnecessary packages installed.
For gstreamer0.10-plugins-good that will only be temporary for wheezy,
and after the release of wheezy gstreamer0.10-plugins-good can then drop
the dependency on gstreamer0.10-gconf.
