Bug Description

As suggested in MIR bug 1783600, we would prefer to not have gtk2 in the default install.

Therefore, I recommend splitting out yaru-theme-gtk2 (with its dependencies on the gtk2 theme engines) and then have Ubuntu's libgtk2.0-0 recommend or depend on that package. I prefer it be a Depends, but there may be concerns about circular dependencies.

Other Info
----------
For now, we still end up needing gtk2 on the ISO because of gparted and 3 input methods.

Many cycles have passed and the GTK2 assets with combined packaging are still in place.

Is this still true? It was originally posted in 2018.

gparted has switched to GTK3, but GTK2 is still a dependency of ibus-chewing and mozc-server. Those are probably not installed on *your* computer but they are included in the ISO.
