The matter is that this dependency on gconf2 nowadays makes grace depend straight away on systemd. I know that systemd is the init of choice in Debian, but that is not the only possible init around, and indeed letting our beloved grace depend on the init system running on the machine is a bit too much :) I hope we can find a workaround, e.g. moving the Depends: to Suggests:.
