Just for information: this is not a bug, it is working as intended. The
mkvtoolnix-gui package just provides mmg and a mkvinfo executable that
has been compiled with GUI support whereas the mkvtoolnix package comes
without dependencies on the wxWidgets libraries.

As for mkvinfo not starting the GUI by default: this is working as
intended as well. I (the author) am most likely the person who uses
mkvinfo the most, daily, during development, and I don't need the GUI at
all. What I need is exactly what it does, console based information
about a Matroska file that I can easily grep and look at.

I will not accept patches into the upstream sources that change
mkvinfo's behaviour in this regard; you could of course patch the Ubuntu
packages accordingly. Just remember to provide an option to not start
the GUI, e.g. "--no-gui".
