Description:

Lutris has a hard dependency right now on gnome-desktop, but this is a standalone application and is not dependent of gnome.

Steps to reproduce:

Remove gnome-desktop because you use any other DE, install lutris. gnome will be installed together.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  If a package legitimately depends on another package, it doesn't matter if it installs 500GB worth of 6,000 packages, it is a dependency and therefore it is a dependency and therefore it will be marked as such.

gnome-desktop is just a library, it won't install whole Gnome DE.
And Lutris does need it, if it's missing it will just crash on launch.

gnome should really rething their naming scheme... u_u I wouldn't have commented this if the name was something like libgnomedesktop or something.
