That it has the same problem I alluded to about cairo-dock-core: *any*
of the packages in the list will satisfy the dependency, so if I for
example install both gnome-session and xfce4-session on the same system
(so that users may have a choice of desktop environments) xfce4-session
will satisfy the dependency and unity-settings-daemon will not be pulled in.
So that's no good.

How about moving /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/cairo-dock.session
to a separate package and making *that* depend on unity-settings-daemon?

Why incomplete? We may not have found a fully satisfactory solution yet,
but the statement of the problem doesn't seem incomplete to me.
