The split is rather simple: GNOME:Factory is the core GNOME experience, mainly what upstream has blessed as being GNOME (plus a few core dependencies that are well maintained) GNOME:Apps in turn is applications from the GNOME eco system maintained by the same strict guidelines employed in GNOME:Factory - most contributors are scared off by the strictness. Just because 'something' uses GTK, does not make it a GNOME-application though (look for example at midori - uses GTK but would not be considered a GNOME Application) For your specific case, I'd actually rather consider 'hardware' as a devel project for this package: the fact that you need this to configure hardware components weighs higher than the fact that this is written in any specific language or using any specific GUI framework. Cheers, Dominique PS: most likely you should also Require python3-gobject-Gdk for your package: in order to allow gobject-introspected python code without UI libraries, python-gobject has been split in smaller chunks
