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.
