Title:
  Installing ubuntu-desktop without recommends does not result in an
  usable minimal desktop

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Installing the package ubuntu-desktop on an Ubuntu Server installation
  using:

  sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop

  does not result in an usable minimal desktop. It is not possible to run any applications, because the Applications lens is missing, and it's not possible to log out since there is no session indicator. To fix this, these packages should be added to Depends:
  - unity-lens-applications
  - indicator-session

  The following packages are not required for desktop functionality, yet they are in Depends:
  - checkbox-qt
  - eog
  - gnome-calculator
  - gnome-font-viewer
  - gnome-screenshot
  - gucharmap
  - nautilus-sendto
  - software-center
  - update-notifier
