The 3 options I see to solve this are:
1) Add "Provides: ubuntu- sso-client- gui" to software-center sso-client- gui" to a Suggests in ubuntu-sso-client
2) Change "Recommends: ubuntu-
3) Remove the Recommends from ubuntu-sso-client
The problem with 1) is that the software-center veresion of the GUI is not usable from other apps by default, so it will satisfy the dependency, but other apps that wish to use SSO won't be able to log in or register, until ubuntu- sso-client- qt is installed, or unless they provide their own UIs.
So the best option here is probably 2), along with apps having explicit Depends: on the gui package they wish to use (mostly ubuntu- sso-client- qt).
