Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.2.2.1-1
Severity: important

Hi.

Actually I should have marked this serious,... this surely somehow violates the 
Policy or Social Contract...
Or at least the expectation of OpenSource/Debian not being evil.

I was really badly remembered to proprietary like AcrobatReader who annoyingly 
tries ships totally
unrealted 3rd party products like YahooTool bar with it...


When the guys at GNOME decided that they know better than 20 years of UI 
designing and started users forcing
GNOME Shell... (well more or less at least) the average Debian-GNOME user got 
that, too.

Now I've seen that they also ship their browser plugin:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnome-shell-browser-plugin.so
siletly with them.

No warning of doing so, nothing in the package description.


Reading the little documentation it even makes me think that the plugin is kind 
of a root kit,
allowing extensions from gnome.org being installed (which possibly no one has 
looked at and are not
security supported at all).



So please split this stupid pluin out in it's own package, make it suggested at 
most, disable it per default,
etc. pp.


Cheers,
Chris.
