Add a note to the release notes or handle it in a different manner.
GNOME Shell is a alternative to GNOME Panel. Adding a dependency from
the latter to the former doesn't make any sense. It is a misuse of
dependency mechanism.
It is not indented as alternative to in the way you might think it is
just a fallback for older hardware and/or crappy drivers.
Hence the name "fallback". If you really care that much about it
suggest a better way (no a release note entry is not it).
