I mistakenly included gwrapguile in my list, actually. It's not a gnome package at all, and my intention has always been to get rid of it directly once gnucash is out. > Likewise, guppi is a QA-maintained package with no reverse-deps aside from > gnucash, and several other chains of packages also look like we should > consider removing them once the above-mentioned packages are gone. I agree. However, I'm not an expert on how to efficiently answer these questions (indeed, whenever I use rdepends I get a lot of spurious entries, and I don't know why, and it requires gobs of manual work to figure out which ones are real). In any case, this message is only a "heads up", so that when gnucash does transition, the correct thing for each package can be done without further ado.
