Actually the permission has been renamed (from zope.app.dublincore to zope.dublincore)  to get rid of the "app" part in its name.

zc.catalog has only test dependencies on zope.app.* packages. 
So you do not install these dependencies when using zc.calalog as a library.
The zope.app.* dependencies might need a bit polishing. But I do not see a big win moving the browser part into a separate package. Especially as zc.catalog should depend on this new package for backward compatibility reasons (at least for a while).
