Public bug reported:
Actually metacity don't really depend on "zenity" package.
I want to install metacity and purge zenity because zenity depends on
too much heavy packages like aspell, dictionaries-common, libwebkit-
gtk-3, libgstreams-0.. which are very and very big.
So is it possible to move "zenity" in "DEBIAN/control" file from
"Depends" to "Recommends" ?
For most developers, long-time regardless of Metacity makes metacity
dependencies too unreasonable...
