Just out of interest does anyone know why, on Raring, I keep getting
updates for unity-2d packages when unity-2d is, I thought, dead and

Seems odd unless you are less than 12.10 but there could always be a
deprecation period.
I am on Raring.
$ apt-cache policy unity-2d
unity-2d:
Installed: 6.12.0daily13.04.01-0ubuntu1
Candidate: 6.12.0daily13.04.01-0ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 6.12.0daily13.04.01-0ubuntu1 0
500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/universe i386
Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
I do notice that they are all (unity-2d, unity-2d-spread and so on)
only a few kB each, perhaps they are just placeholders to satisfy
dependencies that have not been cleaned up yet. On the other hand I
am getting updates to them every few days which seems odd.
They are transitional packages that depend on unity to smooth updates. Every
time unity gets updated, they get updated too.

As Scott told, they are from Unity sources.
We need to keep them until next LTS as we support LTS to LTS upgrade so
that people who only had unity-2d installed will get transitioned to the
new Unity, even if they removed it in the previous LTS, so that they
don't end up in an empty session upon upgrade.
Cheers,
Didier
