Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-keyring-manager

Several programmes in Edgy (like Evolution) make use of gnome-keyring or
gnome-keyring-manager. The use of a keyring is of limited benefit to
home users, and should IMHO not be automatically forced upon them. In my
case, I have tried to remove it, but find that Synaptic then also wants
to remove a slew of other packages. This, friends, is NOT what choice is
all about.

My suggestion: leave the use of keyrings as an installable option for
those who want it (or need it), but do not make it part of the default
install.

** Affects: gnome-keyring-manager (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
