seed changes

I have not seen any answers to justify the seed changes so I reverted 
the least controversial ones to 7.10 state.
If there is any objection please speak now, and say which package should 
not have been reverted today and why.

I want to start discussing the pros and cons of keeping gnumeric/goffice 
and evince forked and maintaining the -gtk only versions.

Also I want to know what are squeeze's advantages and drawbacks over 
file-roller and why it was replaced, ommitting the argument that it is 
made  for Xfce, as that is largely irrelevant to users.

Lionel, Jerome, Cody, Gauvain and anyone else involved in Xubuntu 
development, please if you think there's anything to talk about let's do 
it now to avoid a situation similar to the belated reactions to my Gutsy 
changes.

thanks
Jani

Here's today's diff. Parantheses around the package means it goes to the 
Recommends instead of the Depends section of xubuntu-desktop and thus it 
can be removed without the whole xubuntu-desktop.
