Title:
  gnome-keyring depends on transitional package libgcr-3-1

Status in gnome-keyring package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in seahorse package in Ubuntu:

Status in gnome-keyring source package in Saucy:

Status in seahorse source package in Saucy:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  According its package description, libgcr-3-1 version 3.8.2-4 in Saucy
  Salamander is a transitional package that should be safe to remove.
  However, an attempt to remove the package reveals that gnome-keyring
  (version 3.8.2-0ubuntu3) depends on it. I cannot tell if removing the
  dependency from gnome-keyring was forgotten or libgcr-3-1 has been
  wrongfully marked as transitional, but the latter seems highly
  unlikely. Either way this is a problem that should be fixed.

  [Rationale]
  People should be able to remove transitional packages without removing the packages that depend on their replacements. This is forbidding people from removing libgcr-3-1 without removing gnome-keyring as well.

  [Test Case]
  Install the gnome-keyring package, and then try removing the transitional libgcr-3-1 package. It forces the removal of gnome-keyring, even though gnome-keyring should depend on libgcr-base-3-1 instead.

  [Regression Potential]
  None. This is just a simple dependency change.
