I don't see why they should be split, even though they are different.
The split would have a sense if gnome-control-center wasn't installed by
default, but this isn't the case as our policy is to make gnome-core
depend on it.

During the weekend, Sébastien and Jordi agreed with these changes. Of
course I waited for further input, and on Monday morning Marc (who is,
as I understand it, the main backup maintainer for your packages) told
me I could upload. Given the lack of activity on your side these times,
I thought his word was sufficient.
If you really disagree with the changes, you can upload again. The
policy of the GNOME team has always been to make changes quickly, coming
back on decisions if necessary. But in this case, you should really ask
yourself if the split makes any sense.

Sure. I asked, then I built the package to see how it would look like.
But I waited for some more input to upload it.
