+OK. So I have some conclusion:
+- A minimal install should not install any Suggests, if it does,
+please report a bug (bug #5209). -> The Suggests don't need to be
+moved.
+- Instead, Requires will affect minimal install. -> Change Requires:
+gnome-keyring in libgnome-keyring to Suggests.
+- remove totem-mozilla (and other gnome stuff, if neecessary) from CAT_KDE.
+
+Olav, I've committed the change of libgnome-keyring to svn. Please
+review and submit it if it's acceptable to you. (You are still the
+maintainer of libgnome-keyring.)
+
+I don't know how to change CAT_KDE in rpmstrate, so that should be
+done by someone else.
+
+Thanks.
