Title:
  ubuntu-desktop is missing a few dependencies

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Starting from a command-line (non-GUI) Ubuntu installation, adding
  ubuntu-desktop is supposed to be enough.  But it is missing some
  dependencies.  In particular, the indicator-* packages (indicator-
  application, indicator-appmenu, indicator-datetime, indicator-
  messages, indicator-power, indicator-session, indicator-sound).
  Without indicator-session, for instance, the GUI has no means of
  shutting down or rebooting (save for the command-line).  Without
  indicator-datetime, the control panel has no Date & Time applet.  (I'm
  still trying to figure out if some apparently-related packages such as
  gnome-panel, libindicate-gtk3, libindicate5, sni-qt or telepathy-
  indicator should be added or not.)

  I suspect network-manager-gnome should be added in order to get the
  network indicator (or maybe indicator-network instead?).

  The dash home is crippled unless the unity-lens-* packages are added
  (unity-lens-applications, unity-lens-files, unity-lens-music, unity-
  lens-video are the default set it seems).

  The apt-xapian-index package is required for Synaptic to have a usable
  Quick Filter.

  Finally, libgtk2-perl is something apt looks for repeatedly, and ought
  to be added as a dependency as well.

  Addendum: gnome-screensaver and libpam-gnome-keyring are also missing.
  Without them, the system menu's "Lock Screen" command does not work.
