Wouldn't it be better to make it a strong dependency? In my opinion, it 
has to work without recommendations. And there is something really wrong...
I haven't looked in the code, but usb-creator-gtk has a dependency on 
Python3. But it seems, it needs python-gudev - which is a Python2 
library. You have to know, Python 2 and 3 are rather incompatible. Maybe 
something has gone wrong while porting vom Python2 to Python3.
