Yes.  But what does gnucash need from gnome-core?  IMHO, that part should
be splitted of gnome-core into a more fine-grained package so that gnucash
could depend on it rather on gnome-core.  I feel that gnome-core should
just be a meta package depending on many other gnome-* parts (all of them
coming from the gnome-core distfile, but splitted by us).  This has already
been done for gnome1-panel and gnome1-session, for example.

Cheers
