[Bug 415137] [NEW] Should depend on kdebase-bin not kdebase

[Jon Arnold]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: frescobaldi

I help maintain the frescobaldi package on a team PPA. I am very glad to
see that this is now in the repos, but when Ubuntu asked me to upgrade
from our PPA version to the repo it tried to install 14 new packages
because of this dependency. Since I use GNOME as my DE, many of these
packages are quite useless and I do not want them installed. I can tell
you that functionality is fine with the kdebase-bin dependency. Here's
the list of apps that get pulled in, and you will see that for a GNOME
user, they make for enough useless bloat to be annoying.

dolphin
kappfinder
kdebase
kdebase-workspace-libs4+5
kdepasswd
kfind
konqueror
konqueror-nsplugins
konsole
kwrite
libkonq5
libkonq5-templates
libkonqsidebarplugin4
plasma-widget-folderview

It's only 4.2 MB of downloads, but it is enough unneeded applications
that I am putting off the upgrade.

Also, we used to do a frescobaldi-data package with the files from
usr/share/applications, usr/share/icons, and usr/share/kde4. So, that is
a possibility if the packager wants to do that... Since this is an
import from debian, perhaps this should be forwarded.
