One detail I only learned recently is that apt is configured to keep
otherwise obsolete packages installed if they are still listed as
Suggests when upgrading. I want to document this for our notes,
thinking of adding a debian/README.source to meta-gnome3.

Suggests sounds fine as a place to put things that are in upstream
gnome-core that we are excluding from our default install.

Thank you,
