Title:
  change unity-2d dependency to recommends in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS  ubuntu-
  desktop metapackage

Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi! I’ve updated recently to Natty to get a chance to look at how
  things will work. I don’t want to play with Unity yet (it doesn’t seem
  to work at all right now), but I can’t remove because ubuntu-desktop
  depends on it.

  I think for now it should be marked as “recommends” rather than
  “depends”. This way it will get installed for most people, but those
  who choose to can remove it and play with the rest of the
  distribution. When we’re getting closer to the release date and Unity
  becomes more stable it could perhaps be turned back to a “depends”.
