Ok. Here's the situation. When you install Ubuntu, you might (like me) not want Firefox, and prefer Epiphany instead. You might prefer mozilla thunderbird over evolution, or BMPX over Rhythmbox. If you are one of these people, you probably get rather annoyed that you have to keep Firefox, Evolution and/or Rhythmbox, or remove ubuntu-desktop, hence not receiving any updates to the desktop metapackage.
Here's the idea. The ubuntu-desktop metapacakge should allow different options for the dependencies such as mozilla-firefox OR epiphany-browser OR iceweasel, evolution OR mozill-thunderbird, rhythmbox OR bmpx etc etc. So what does everyone think? could this be acheived in fesity, or will we have to wait until feisty+1? -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
