"Why is the dependency wrong? libunity is required so that the integration works on systems with Unity installed (note, the dependency is libunity, and not unity). Making it a recommends adds extra run-time complexity to check if things are installed."
Doesn't it have to do the same run time checks whether the library is installed or not?
If the library is installed does it not have to check to see if Unity is installed or not?
Wouldn't it make more sense to make libunity a dependency of the package (packages?) that provide the launcher/places functionality instead of the ones that could use it if it's running?
