Comment(by guy.linton@…):

 libsoup @2.28.2 has a dependency on gnome-keyring, so it brings that in
 anyway.

 Gramps @3.2.0, Revision 1 has a dependency on gnome-python(26)-extras.
 gnome-python(26)-extras @2.25.3 has a dependency on libgda4.
 libgda4 @4.0.5 has a dependency on libsoup.

 Hence, it looks as though Gramps would automatically build gnome-keyring,
 then libsoup, then libgda2. Hence there would not appear to be any need
 for making gramps depend on libsoup.

 I suppose that the dependency tree means that gnome-python-extras will
 always include support for GNU Data Access (GDA)- and hence libsoup,
 whether you want it or not.

 This thread [http://old.nabble.com/Re%3A-Gramps-3.2-td27915981.html] seems
 to state that Gramps needs libsoup (at least in the context of the Windows
 port), but it is not clear why.
