[Bug 53072] new shlibs dependency on libfam0 causes fam to be pulled into main

[Colin Watson]

Public bug reported:

The change in gamin's shlibs to generate dependencies on libfam0 for
linkage against libfam causes fam to be pulled into main due to (at
least) a dependency from libgnomevfs2-0
(http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/anastacia.txt). I don't believe we
really want this; gamin is sufficient for nearly everything with a few
exceptions and we've had fam in universe since hoary. I tried working
around this by adding libgamin0 to the desktop seed, but that isn't
enough because libfam0 is still pulled in via the build-dependency tree
and there's no sensible seed workaround that would avoid that.

Would it be possible for gamin's shlibs to say libgamin0 | libfam0
instead for linkage against libfam? After a gnome-vfs2 rebuild, that
would make sure we ended up with libgamin0 by default.
