DetailsDescription:
gnome-disk-utility ships both libs and GUI, but for GVFs' support for removable drives only the libs are needed. This is not a problem in GNOME, because it uses the gtk+-3 already, but in other DEs like Xfce which still uses gtk+-2 this pulls many GNOME and gtk+-3 deps in. In debian, they split the package in the libs and the GUI, but this only works after compiling with manual selecting the files. Please split the package in libs and GUI and update the GVFs deps. |

gvfs from gnome 3.2 will use split libgdu.
if we start doing that then a lot of packages can benefit from the same schema and i don't want to have a precedent
we are not debian. feel free to do it in your system
And why libpluse splitted out from pulseaudio?
I think it's similar. It would be useful for people who use a light Xfce desktop with Thunar, and want to use gvfs' features, but dont want to install gnome-disk-utility GUI or gtk3 at all.
pulseaudio is another bloat that a lot of users hate.
gtk3 doesn't have a daemon that auto-starts
And also note that libgdu is only 372.6 kB, and the other part (GUI apps, help files, icons, l10n files) takes 9.6 MB when installed.
I know that Arch is not Debian, and not splitting every libraries without strong reason. But I think it's an acceptable reason to not force GVFS users to install any graphical tools (palimpsest, gdu-notification-daemon or gtk3).
