[Dylan McCall <DylanMcCall@xxxxxxxxx>]

ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu is a static content package. It holds HTML
files which can be accessed through any means, about which the package
itself has no concerns. (For example, its content can be opened with a
web browser, a Webkit.WebView in Ubiquity, or a text editor). It would
be improper (and, as far as I am aware, against the packaging
guidelines) to depend on the external viewer in this case, especially
given that it is ubiquity which recommends ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu.

Instead, this sort of thing should be in the package's documentation.
The Readme is a bit out of date with Lucid, but Slideshow.py in the
source package should serve as an adequate implementation example, if
you still need one :)

With alpha 2, infrastructure should be in place so that derivative
slideshows can be created within the one source package. I'll keep your
comments in mind when I get back to the documentation.

Feel free to forward any questions to Launchpad Answers, the project's
mailing list, or me directly!

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu

The ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu package has no dependencies.  While it should be fairly obvious that you need Ubiquity for it to do you much good, it is not at all obvious that it needs python-webkit installed in order to actually function.  

We spent many hours trying to figure this out when attempting to adapt this package for our derivative distro.
