Currently, we have gconf, xfconf, and dconf running in Lubuntu. Remove
gconf will remove 1 on them, and it's also the direction of GNOME.
Ubuntu also tries to remove depends on gconf for the main image, but the
progress is slow.

No, the priority is the glade migration because only Lubuntu specific
packages are involved.
For gconf, we can start the migration for our packages, waiting for the
others not specific to be migrated also. If you look at the blueprint (
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-lubuntu-p-optimizations)
only the glade items are in the work items, not the gconf ones.
