0003837: gnome_pythone is overpackaged
During my attempts to install gnome_python. I am somewhat shocked that there are package requirements such as: firefox, nautilus, etc.

If one is writing gnome applets in python, it's hard to comprehend why one need an entire web browser or file browser installed as well. if there is a subset of that package that is required, perhaps that should be broken out into a run time or base package. In such a way the entire package does not need to be installed.

Off my soap box now.
Cheers
