Bug Description

The Unity 8 first run wizard, ie, OOBE, is run regardless of the platform. This wizard is only geared towards phone users and can be confusing for desktop users. As a workaround until bug #1435877 is designed and implemented, the ~/.config/ubuntu-system-settings/wizard-has-run file will be created the first time a user logs in.

  * Add a dependency for mir-graphics-drivers-desktop since the Mir
    packaging does not provide a way to pull this meta-package in.
    Without this package, the Unity 8 desktop session will not start.

  * Create the wizard-has-run file if it doesn't exist when logging into
    Unity 8 to bypass the OOBE wizard on a desktop session. (LP:
    #1463065)
