Bug#850265: Please stop using libgnome / libgnomeui

Source: firefox
Version: 50.1.0-1
Severity: normal
I noticed that firefox has a
Build-Depends: libgnome2-dev, libgnomeui-dev,
and
Suggests libgnomeui-0
Reading the configure switch for gnomeui, it says:
--enable-gnomeui Enable libgnomeui instead of GIO & GTK for icon
theme support
Do we really want that? libgnomeui has long been deprecated and is dead
upstream. Is it providing anything that GIO & GTK don't?
If not, can we drop those dependencies please so we can get rid of
libgnome/libgnomeui eventually.
Thanks for considering.
Michael
