Title:
  Unnecesarily depends on unity, unity-2d, or gnome-shell

Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in Baltix GNU/Linux:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
