Bug Description

Observation:
Chromium depends on libgnome-keyring0

$ apt-cache rdepends libgnome-keyring0 | grep chromium
  chromium-browser
  chromium-browser

Expectation:
It doesn't depend on it.

Rationale:
The issue is: I installed Lubuntu, not Ubuntu. I don't use Gnome. For these reasons gnome-keyring doesn't acutally work correctly for me, rather it interferes with gnupg-agent, inserting itself in the middle of the password handling. So I would like to get rid of it, only to find that quite a few packages depend on gnome-keyring for nor obvious reason.

This can't be a hard dependency of course, since Chromium on other platforms doesn't even have gnome-keyring available, so I see no reason to enforce it here.
This dependency didn't exist in Ubuntu 12.04.

$ apt-cache rdepends libgnome-keyring0
