I don't know exactly how depencies work on Debian, but the above
statement is not entirely true; tracker-deskbar.py doesn't have a
hard-dependency on deskbar-applet, it acts sort of like a plugin. I
don't have deskbar-applet installed on my fedora system, and
tracker-0.5.4 (with tracker-deskbar.py installed) runs just fine here.
