The conversation in bug #640120 led me to think that it shouldn't
provide notification-daemon. It makes sense to me that that individual
applications should not directly depend on notification-daemon, and
that it should be up to the desktop environment to depend on its
notification system of choice. As it is now, providing
notification-daemon in notify-osd wouldn't stop it from being
installed on a system that also has GNOME due to the way they have
versionized their depends. So I don't see much gain in providing it.
As things are now, notify-osd isn't really a drop in replacement for
notification-daemon.

All that said, if anyone is having real world issues due to this, I
could re-add it. Do you have an actual use case where not providing
notification-daemon is causing you a problem?

Thanks for the report!
