[Posting this bug report on behalf of juliannfair...@protonmail.com]
Dear Maintainer,
GNOME Software does not depend on the Software Properties app.
Installing it changes the way GNOME Software works (for example, with
the source settings).
For that reason, some people may not want it installed. And, in my
opinion, Debian developers should not add dependencies to software they
did not create. If a dependency should be added to GNOME Software, it
should be done by the GNOME developers.
I suggest that `software-properties-gtk` be changed from a dependency of
`gnome-software` to a recommended package.
