gnome-pilot and ubuntu-desktop

I agree with previous comments - there is no reason why PalmOS Devices should
be tied so closely to gnome-desktop. gnome-desktop is a core package and
PalmOS is (should be) an optional one.
In fact, I firmly believe that PalmOS support should be completely
optional and not installed by default

gnome-pilot isn't directly a dependency of ubuntu-desktop: ubuntu-
desktop depends on gnome-pilot-conduits that, in turns, depends on
gnome-pilot.
As of Intrepid, gnome-pilot-conduits was demoted from dependency to recomended
dependency in ubuntu-desktop, but PalmOS Devices cannot be removed usin

Recommends would be consistent with our handling of other hardware-

Yes I totally agree with you. It should be possible to remove / replace
every application without the need to remove ubuntu-desktop. Or at least
reduce the requirements of applications for ubuntu-desktop to a limit,
like gnome (minimal-desktop + update-manager etc. without
firefox/Evolution/ etc.)
Why do you want to remove it? I think it 's part of the OS. If you don't want
to use it just remove your Palm ID from pilot.

I am also trying to remove the Palm Pilot support from my system. I am
using 8.04. I am unable to do so using the Add / Remove Applications
