Currently, gnome-keyring is listed as a run-time dependency.
gnome-keyring is only one implementation of the freedesktop.org Secret
Service API, and so other secrets management software (such as
KeePassXC) could be used instead.

The gnome-keyring package installs files into the system configuration
that cause it to be started automatically on login. As systemd units are
not used, disabling gnome-keyring entirely can be challenging.

I therefore suggest removing the dependency on gnome-keyring.

Best wishes,

Sebastian
