Because then we would lose all the other recommended packages:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/gnome-panel

alacarte easy GNOME menu editing tool
evolution-data-server evolution database backend server
gnome-applets Various applets for the GNOME panel - binary files
gnome-session-flashback (>= 3.14.0) GNOME Session Manager - GNOME Flashback session
gvfs userspace virtual filesystem - GIO module
indicator-applet-complete Clone of the GNOME panel indicator applet
unity-control-center utilities to configure the GNOME desktop

Listing those one-by-one in the `apt-get install` line of our installer script is possible but it makes the code too much ubuntu-version specific.

And of course other users installing gnome-panel (notably LTSP users) running the `apt-get install` manually wouldn't be aware of this bug in order to read it and run it with --no-install-recommends.
