+So if Muffin is breaking this automatic dependency tracking, then IMO
+the bug is in Muffin. It (upstream/ package) should properly rename
+things as not to cause bugs in GNOME packages. Even if upstream doesn't
+do that, a muffin package should not provide something which conflicts
+with mutter. That automatic provides should be removed in Muffin IMO.
+
+The import of Cinnamon caused a very big QA issue in GNOME. I don't like
+that. Cinnamon came after GNOME, so the extra work to support Cinnamon
+should be limited to Cinnamon packages, not GNOME ones.
