Title:
  global appmenu doesn't work with install-recommends off

Status in The Leadville project:
  New
Status in unity-2d package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In an system with install-recommends disabled and with indicator-
  appmenu and appmenu-gtk installed, unity-2d does not provide proper
  global menu support, by which I mean: application menus are not fully
  integrated into the top panel. Such integration also requires
  installing appmenu-gtk3. But this requirement is difficult to find.

  * With indicator-appmenu and appmenu-gtk but without appmenu-gtk3 installed, an app menu (for example nautilus) is just below and contiguous too the unity-2d panel, not integrated into it. 
   * When appmenu-gtk3 is then installed, the app menu is fully integrated. 

  (See attachments.)

  This requirement for appmenu-gtk3 was only discovered by
  experimentation. It is too hidden. (I know of at least one other
  project that didn't find it either.)

  What to do, if anything?

  Perhaps create a new pkg named 'appmenu-unity-2d' that depends on the
  required packages and is a Recommend of unity-2d.  If the
  person/project does not want appmenu support, they don't install it,
  but if they do, they get a working system without having to figure out
  the required packages. (This sounds like a meta pkg since its only
  reason for existence would be its dependencies.)
