Public bug reported: In the Ubuntu session, if you only want to remove the extension Ubuntu Dock, it also removes the package ubuntu-desktop.
Why removing only one extension would do that ? Do both need to be tied ? Earlier, it was possible to remove the extension only, and the meta package ubuntu-desktop was not affected. I understand the Ubuntu branding with the Dock on the left, etc. But many Gnome users will try to install different extensions anyway, and when they'll see that Ubuntu doesn't let them do that easily, or that it breaks stuff, I fear a backlash for Ubuntu. It's okay to personalize the desktop, but don't lock it or make it difficult to customize. Linux is about choice. Please consider. Thanks. ** Affects: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: In the Ubuntu session, if you only want to remove the extension Ubuntu Dock, it also removes the package ubuntu-desktop.
