Public bug reported:

Actually metacity don't really depend on "zenity" package.

I want to install metacity and purge zenity because zenity depends on
too much heavy packages like aspell, dictionaries-common, libwebkit-
gtk-3, libgstreams-0.. which are very and very big.

So is it possible to move "zenity" in "DEBIAN/control" file from
"Depends" to "Recommends" ?

For most developers, long-time regardless of Metacity makes metacity
dependencies too unreasonable...
