Title:
  Removing gwibber-service removes indicator-me

Status in Gwibber:
  New
Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gwibber

Removed gwibber. Since gwibber-service starts unasked  three services removed it also.
It removes indicator-me too.
Expected is, gwibber-service can be removed without interference of whatever indicator*.

Gwibber is just another app which one may use or not, but indicators are essentials of Ubuntu-Desktop.
How come that just another app is allowed to remove indicator*, which is needed for another app e.g. Empathy?

Aside, ubuntuone-client and couchdb-bin were removed before, now when attempting to reinstall indicator-me, those and related, already removed, packages are about to be installed again. (screenshot)

Result, user runs in circle or has to abstain from indicator-me, while keeping Empathy without showing online-status.

Conclusion, if gwibber-service leaves indicator-me alone, follow-up  behaviour as above don't occur.
Plus, either package doesn't mention the other one as dependency, although Synaptic says something else.
