Unnecesarily depends on unity, unity-2d, or gnome-shell

[dobey]

This dependency is backwards. These dependencies should be depending on gnome-session instead, as they require it to function properly. If gnome-session is going to have any sort of dependency on them, it should at most be Recommends. I would like to use another window manager instead, but still use gnome-session and other GNOME related features, but I cannot remove these packages and keep gnome-session as it stands. This was not an issue in 11.04 where I could remove the unity packages and keep gnome-session installed.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-session - 3.2.1-0ubuntu4

---------------
gnome-session (3.2.1-0ubuntu4) precise; urgency=low

  * Backport some of the Debian changes
  * debian/control.in:
    - drop the Recommends on gnome-power-manager, the code gnome-session uses
      has moved to gnome-settings-daemon
    - drop the build-depends on librsvg2-dev
    - Recommends "unity | unity-2d | gnome-shell" rather than Depends on it,
      some users want to use gnome-session without those (lp: #854058).
  * debian/patches/50_ubuntu_sessions.patch:
    - restore the "no notifications in fallback sessions" for Ubuntu,
      the required components need an autostart .desktop where notify-osd
      doesn't have one, let them be dbus activated rather (lp: #885939)

  [ Michael Biebl ]
  * Remove Depends on policykit-1-gnome from gnome-session as gnome-shell
    provides its own integrated PolicyKit authentication agent.
  * Remove notification-daemon from gnome-session Recommends as gnome-shell
    has an integrated notification system.
  * Make notification-daemon a Depends of the gnome-session-fallback and
    remove debian/patches/13_no_fallback_notification.patch so the session
    manager starts notification-daemon in the fallback case.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.2. No further changes.
