+You are going to file a bug against “gnome-core”, which is a
+metapackage. It means it is empty except for its dependencies, which are
+defined as the “core” modules by GNOME upstream developers.
+
+Using this package to report a bug is appropriate if:
+ * You have noticed a bug in the GNOME desktop but you don’t know which
+ actual package it comes from.
+ * You believe there is a genuine mistake in dependencies, like
+ forgetting to add a dependency that belongs in core GNOME modules, or
+ to remove one that is no longer part of them.
+
+If you don’t like one of the packages that are depended upon and prefer
+that we drop the dependency or depend on another one that is not related
+to GNOME, please don’t bother filing the bug. Metapackages are not a
+supermarket. We try to make a selection that is suitable for most
+people; if you don’t like it, you are welcome to make your own.
