Softening that dependency so that you can use u1sync from a server seems 
totally reasonable, although we've been pretty focused on the desktop 
environment I don't think anyone wants to lock out the more technical 
users from using things like u1sync on a server.

I wonder if maybe the dependency on gnome-keyring and 
python-gnome2-desktop should be in ubuntuone-client-gnome rather than 
python-ubuntuone-client.

Or, maybe ubuntuone-client-tools should Depend: on 
python-ubuntuone-storageprotocol rather than ubuntuone-client.
