[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#706792: base: purge <gnomeapp> removes gnome-core

Package: base
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software


Executing apt-get purge <some package that is related to gnome> removes gnome

When purging a single package like empathy, the packages gnome and 
gnome-core are removed.
Therefore when executing apt-get autoremove the hole gnome environment 
is removed including all gui applications (libreoffice and so on)

This breaks the full desktop environment.


This bug was tested on release candidate 2 with up to date packages as well as
on release candidate 1 (without updates for a month)
