Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-sharp2

The examples and the manual are not needed and should thus be recommended (or suggested) instead of depended on in the deb.

By "not needed" I mean that no package that depend on only "gnome-sharp2" should require the examples or the manual. E.g., if, in some very unlikely case, some package truly would require the examples then that package should depend on "gnome-sharp2-examples" (which, btw, probably should depend on, or at least recommend, "gnome-sharp2").

As the debian maintainer explained, this is ok because gnome-sharp2 is a metapackage. Packages that just require the bindings will depend on the lib packages only, rather than the metapackage.
