Public bug reported: I would like to be able to remove the gnome-shell-extension-desktop- icons without removing ubuntu-desktop.
GNOME shell extensions are sometimes buggy, in this case desktop-icons, and I consider the desktop-icons extension an enhancement to the desktop, not a necessity, because no other functionality or packages depend on its behaviour, and there is no loss of data or breakage of another functionality after removing it. So changing the dependency to a Recommends would allow the extension to be installed by default and be removed without removing ubuntu-desktop.
