Right. So, the gnome-control-center-signon source package which provides
the UOA applet allows building the UOA applet as a standalone
application. Maybe we should package the standalone app in a separate
package, and make it available to GNOME users? In this way, they could
access UOA without having to install the unity-control-center.
Would this address your concerns?

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
