Bug description:
  [Impact]

  system-config-printer-gnome depends on python-gobject, which means
  python-gobject cannot be removed from the system. python-gobject is a
  transitional package, and packages should be updated to no longer
  depend on it.

  [Test Case]

  * Install system-config-printer-gnome, and verify that python-gobject
  is not installed with it.

  * If it is already installed, you should be able to run 'apt-get purge
  python-gobject' without removing system-config-printer-gnome.

  [Regression Potential]

  Negligible. There are no code changes. The fix only removes a
  dependency on a transitional package that doesn't provide any files.
