I'd rather suggest you to split deluge into several subpackages, e.g.
deluge(metapackge) deluge-gtk deluge-console deluge-web deluge-common
or deluge(gtk ui) deluge-console deluge-web deluge-common.
Bundling UI and Core and pulling in gtk2 dependency is not a good idea
for deluge.

For   flags subpackage, all I known is it's still a scratch guideline.
