Title:
  Unity8 on Vivid doesn't boot, due to old unity8-desktop-session-mir in
  Vivid archive

Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On a fresh vivid setup, installing unity8-desktop-session-mir doesn't pull in
  the platform and client packages required to be able to run unity8

  I had to install
  mir-client-platform-mesa3
  mir-platform-graphics-mesa-km7
  mir-platform-input-evdev4

  PS I have the Overlay PPA installed,
  unity8-desktop-session-mir is version 1.0.12+15.04.20150309-0ubuntu1 (which is really old, and could be the cause of these issues!)

  
  UPDATE: turns out it's because vivid has an old version of the package (March 2015) and unity8-desktop-session-mir added a dependency to Mir graphics drivers in June 2015 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity8-desktop-session-team/unity8-desktop-session/trunk/revision/79.2.1
