Yeah, at least, it's documented and we can reference people on it :)

On the PS: ouh là, euh… quand j'aurais du temps, ce qui n'est pas une
mince affaire :p

Title:
  Removing the extension Ubuntu Dock uninstalls ubuntu-desktop

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  In the Ubuntu session, if you only want to remove the extension Ubuntu
  Dock, it also removes the package ubuntu-desktop.

  Why removing only one extension would do that ?

  Do both need to be tied ?

  Earlier, it was possible to remove the extension only, and the meta
  package ubuntu-desktop was not affected.

  I understand the Ubuntu branding with the Dock on the left, etc. But
  many Gnome users will try to install different extensions anyway, and
  when they'll see that Ubuntu doesn't let them do that easily, or that
  it breaks stuff, I fear a backlash for Ubuntu.

  It's okay to personalize the desktop, but don't lock it or make it
  difficult to customize. Linux is about choice. Please consider.

  Thanks.
