Public bug reported:

This dependency is backwards. These dependencies should be depending on
gnome-session instead, as they require it to function properly. If
gnome-session is going to have any sort of dependency on them, it should
at most be Recommends. I would like to use another window manager
instead, but still use gnome-session and other GNOME related features,
but I cannot remove these packages and keep gnome-session as it stands.
This was not an issue in 11.04 where I could remove the unity packages
and keep gnome-session installed.
