[Launchpad Bug Tracker <798151@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel):

Upstream packages often have derivative-friendly dependencies, like
dependency on indicator-renderer virtual package for indicators.

But often they don't, like in bug #795191 which takes a lot of time and
paperwork to fix (and nobody knows if my fix will be accepted), but it
might be useful to other derivatives at least.

And there are also packages like gnome-icon-theme that are obviously
needed but have ridiculous dependencies and are not likely to be fixed.

And we have to deal with this somehow if we want to get a clean system
that doesn't install Unity with every update.
