I replaced it by an empty dummy packages to fulfil hard dependencies,
that actually should be optional dependencies.

[root at archlinux moonstudio]# pacman -Qi gvfs | head -3
Name            : gvfs
Version         : 2013.08.18-1
Description     : Dummy package
[root at archlinux moonstudio]# systemd-nspawn -q dpkg -l gvfs | grep ii
ii  gvfs           2016:07-13-moonstudio all          Dummy package

The reason for me to remove gvfs is, that it wakes up an external green
WD drive for no reason, so the drive spins up, right after it spins
down, after being idle for 30 minutes.
