No, GNOME does not depend on pulseaudio, at least not in Debian.
Introducing the dependency you suggest would make that a hard dependency
so this is not going to happen.
Until pulseaudio can be installed by default (probably not for squeeze),
I see two better alternatives:
* The pulse module for libcanberra is directly integrated in
libcanberra, and the pulseaudio dependency is removed (the
libpulse dependency is not a problem).
* The pulseaudio package recommends libcanberra-pulse.
Each of these solutions would be enough. I’ll let the maintainers (CCed)
decide which solution they prefer.
