(resending, including the mailing list, and some addition)

You might be right, I don't know much about the details of these packages.
But couldn't it be that when installing gtk-sharp2, it checks for other
installed packages, and based on the availability, it installs additional
sharp bindings? Something in the line of: this user does not have libglade2
installed, so probably he will not need glade-sharp bindings either, I will
skip this installation?

I don't really know if gtk-sharp2 is useful without glade or not, but if it
is useful in some cases, this might be the explanation, and in that sense
there is not really a dependency.

In your ticket you write:

That's what it does currently, I guess: it installs gtk-sharp2 without any
problem, but without glade-sharp.
