So if Muffin is breaking this automatic dependency tracking, then IMO
the bug is in Muffin. It (upstream/ package) should properly rename
things as not to cause bugs in GNOME packages. Even if upstream doesn't
do that, a muffin package should not provide something which conflicts
with mutter. That automatic provides should be removed in Muffin IMO.

The import of Cinnamon caused a very big QA issue in GNOME. I don't like
that. Cinnamon came after GNOME, so the extra work to support Cinnamon
should be limited to Cinnamon packages, not GNOME ones.
