Bug Description
[Availability]
* Available in universe
[Rationale]
* This package is required as the basis for making the Unity 8 shell available as an alternate login session in Ubuntu
[Security]
* No known security issues at this time. This package has been ACKed by the security team in advance.
[Quality assurance]
* This package is effectively a metapackage with some lightdm configuration files. Functional testing is a documented manual process with simple (you can log in or not) results.
[Dependencies]
* mir-graphics-
* policykit-unity8 binary and source package is in universe, but a request to file a MIR bug has been sent out
* qtmir-desktop binary and source package is in universe [bug #1612358]
* qtubuntu-desktop binary and source package is in universe [bug #1612346]
* unity-system-
* unity8 binary and source package is in universe [bug #1613638]
* url-dispatcher is in universe, but its source url-dispatcher is already in main
* address-book-app binary and source package is in universe, but can be demoted from 'recommends' to 'suggests'
* camera-app binary and source package is in universe, but can be demoted from 'recommends' to 'suggests'
* gallery-app binary and source package is in universe, but can be demoted from 'recommends' to 'suggests'
* indicator-transfer binary and source package is in universe, but can be demoted from 'recommends' to 'suggests'
* mediaplayer-app binary and source package is in universe, but can be demoted from 'recommends' to 'suggests'
* unity-scope-click binary and source package is in universe, but a merge proposal to remove it as a dependency is pending
[Standards compliance]
* This package uses autotools. It has no translatable strings other than the (trade mark) "Unity8" presented as a selection at login time, which should not need translation.
[Maintenance]
* This package is maintained by Canonical and has been available through the archives since 2013 with some media promotion for early adopters.

- Needs a team bug subscriber. I see it has one for the owning team... But would any on the current list of package-subscribers be a better fit?

Non blocking note: desktop- session- mir should have "Section: oldlibs" so that package tools know it's obsolete.
- unity8-
- I see there are plenty of bugs, but aren't seemingly specific to this package, just to the experience in general.
