Bug Description
[Impact]
Installing 'gnome-shell' fails to install 'gnome-session' so no GNOME session is offered at login which could lead a user to install unneeded packages such as the metapackage 'gnome' in search of a solution.
[Test Case]
Install and update Ubuntu Trusty, then install the package 'gnome-shell'. Log out and you'll find that no GNOME session is available for login. Install 'gnome-session', log out again and you'll then find that GNOME is available as a login option.
[Regression Potential]
None, gnome-session provides the session files for a
gnome-shell session, therefore it must be installed to use gnome-shell.
This dep was just missied up until now, since the ubuntu-gnome meta
package pulls it in anyway.
*******
It appears that gnome-session is no longer on default install. In that case if a user installs gnome-shell they'll not get a log in for it.
(may also need dep on gnome-control-

I guess you wanted to report that bug against gnome-shell? It doesn't make sense for gnome-session to depends on itself right? ;-)
