[Bug 1832407] Re: Ubuntu's gnome-shell extensions can't be uninstalled (safely)

[Amr Ibrahim]

Please move

- gnome-shell-extension-appindicator,
- gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng,
- gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock

from depends to recommends in ubuntu-desktop-minimal and ubuntu-desktop.

Those extensions are not a must for gnome-shell to function, and
recommends is sufficient to be installed by default.

Title:
  Ubuntu's gnome-shell extensions can't be uninstalled (safely)

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I like the Ubuntu themed GNOME desktop but I don't like dash-to-dock.
  As the preinstalled extensions, especially gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock are not deactivable and not removable atomic (they are hard dependcies of ubuntu-desktop), the only way to remove them is to rename the extensions folder. This will also restore the dock with every update of the gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package, as it creates this folder.

  Therfore, we should remove the hard dependcies.
