Description:
libwebkit in testing has geoclue as a new dependency. This package pulls in gconf, libsoup-gnome and networkmanager. Since eclipse depends on libwebkit, I now have to install these packages when I want to use it. Is it really necessary to install networkmanager as a dependency of an ide?

Additional info:
* libwebkit 1.8.0-1

This task depends upon

I was able to remove some dependencies of geoclue and libwebkit still works.

$ testdb
missing dependency for geoclue : gconf
missing dependency for geoclue : libsoup-gnome
missing dependency for geoclue : networkmanager

/e: It may be an option to move the library file, pkgconfig and headers in a new package and to use this one as hard dependency...

that was my primary reason for not adding geolocation support in webkit.
