Bug Description
According its package description, libgcr-3-1 version 3.8.2-4 in Saucy Salamander is a transitional package that should be safe to remove. However, an attempt to remove the package reveals that gnome-keyring (version 3.8.2-0ubuntu3) depends on it. I cannot tell if removing the dependency from gnome-keyring was forgotten or libgcr-3-1 has been wrongfully marked as transitional, but the latter seems highly unlikely. Either way this is a problem that should be fixed.
[Rationale]
People should be able to remove transitional packages without removing the packages that depend on their replacements. This is forbidding people from removing libgcr-3-1 without removing gnome-keyring as well.
[Test Case]
Install the gnome-keyring package, and then try removing the transitional libgcr-3-1 package. It forces the removal of gnome-keyring, even though gnome-keyring should depend on libgcr-base-3-1 instead.
[Regression Potential]
None. This is just a simple dependency change.

Yup, this appears to be fixed by a simple rebuild of gnome-keyring. It causes it to depend on libgcr-base-3-1 instead of libgcr-3-1. I'll try to SRU a fix into Saucy.
