Why does the package have a dependency on gnome-shell

[fossfreedom]

Quick question - why does the binary package have a dependency on gnome-shell?

This turns the package into a GNOME Shell specific package. I was hoping the gnome-remote-desktop could be used on Ubuntu Budgie - but this dependency prevents this.

Note - I've compiled a version of gnome-remote-desktop without the
gnome-shell dependency and screen-sharing now works perfectly (using
libmutter from proposed)
