Public bug reported:

Hi,

Mousetweaks is a package providing accessibility enhancements for the
mouse. It is essentially a daemon providing a dwell click and a
simulated secondary click. In Ubuntu, the gnome-control-center provides
the gui to control its features, but the mousetweaks features also work
without the gnome-control-center. There is for example the onscreen
keyboard Onboard, shipping by default with Ubuntu, that offers a gui for
the dwelling feature of mousetweaks. Moreover, mousetweaks can be
controlled by the command line.

Thus, I would suggest to demote the gnome-control-center from Recommends
to Suggests in debian control. This way, Ubuntu derivatives with a
desktop without the gnome-control-center (for example Xubuntu) might
install mousetweaks without also pulling in the gnome-control-center and
its dependencies.

I am adding the debdiff and the package with the changes to this bug
thread.

In the hope to have been helpful,

Francesco
