Good point. libgsf is a rare case where a GConf schema is installed but
the package itself doesn't actually use GConf. I've fixed this in SVN
(r8493, r8494).

Correct, those are the only dependencies of libgsf1_114.
libgdk_pixbuf2.0 is only used by (one of) the utilities, and the python
deps are obviously only for the python-gsf bindings. librsvg2 also
depends on libgdk_pixbuf2.0 but NOT libgtk2.0; that's precisely why I
split out libgdk_pixbuf2.0 from libgtk2.0, even though upstream ships
them together.
