Bug Description

software-properties-gtk is used on the official gtk desktops such as budgie.

Currently in the debian control file it has a recommendation to install the session manager for that desktop - so gnome-session-bin for GNOME based desktops, mate-session for mate desktop and so on.

budgie-desktop for noble now uses budgie-session as its session manager instead of gnome-session.

Because of the current recommendation, gnome-session-bin is installed on budgie-desktop. It no longer needs to be installed.

software-properties needs an update to its alternate recommendations so that budgie-desktop doesnt pull in gnome-session-bin incorrectly.

Excuse my unfamiliarity with desktop packages, but I don't understand the above statement. Until someone from desktop reviews this, my question would be very basic: what is the problem this is trying to solve? What is happening, that shouldn't happen?
