Gvfs-backends is "suggested" by Gimp. I have asked on the Debian bug
that it is moved to Depends (Or at least Recommends).

Thanks for reporting!

Title:
  gvfs-backends not installed with GIMP

Status in gimp package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in gimp package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  I am running Kubuntu 17.04.
  I installed the GIMP.
  I tried to use the menu item "Open from location", but it did not work.
  After searching on the Internet, I found out that the GIMP needs a GVFS backend in order to fetch an image from the web. I installed gvfs-backends. Now the menu item "Open from location" works.

  Problem: A feature from the GIMP does not work by default.
  How to solve: install an additional package.
  Ideal use case: user only needs to install the GIMP.

  Could it be possible to add gvfs-backends as a hard dependency of the
  GIMP?
