Fully agree on splitting the thing. One question, though: what do you
think about installing the binaries in a different location (or with a
different name), and have /usr/bin/gnome-control-center as a shell
script that checks if we are running under unity (is that
DESKTOP_SESSION=ubuntu?) and execs unity-control-center in that case,
and the gnome-control-center in all the others?

That way, we might be able to reduce the number of affected packages.

Bug description:
  Ubuntu/Unity uses GNOME Control Center as the application to configure
  the Unity session. We've made a lot of changes appropriate for Ubuntu
  and Unity (61 patches) which makes it hard to maintain and creates a
  conflict for Ubuntu GNOME to use the control center. Unity 7 will be
  replaced by Unity 8 in the future which has a new settings interface.

  So we can continue to remain on the current version of GNOME Control
  Center but allow Ubuntu GNOME to continue to update we will create a
  new project lp:unity-control-center which is a copy of GNOME Control
  Center 3.6 but with appropriate renaming so both can be installed.

  A number of packages that refer to gnome-control-center need to be
  updated to refer to unity-control-center (see bug tasks).

  A PPA for testing is https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive
  /unity-control-center/+packages.
