Comment 25 for bug 1041303

Assuming that it is the gnome-control-center that makes the difference, you might perhaps remove the gnome-control-center from the Recommends of the mousetweaks package. This way, users of Xubuntu could still use the Hover Click of the mousetweaks package as Onboard offers button to start and control the Hover Click.

Moreover, distributions that use the gnome-control-center would continue to pull in mousetweaks as mousetweaks is in the Recommends of the gnome-control-center.

Could this be a solution?

If I understand everything correctly, Xubuntu would this way only drop packages it is not using; correct?
