[Bug 2140527] Re: Replace software-properties-gtk by software-properties-common in the desktop seed

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

** Summary changed:

- Remove software-properties-gtk from the seed
+ Replace software-properties-gtk by software-properties-common in the desktop seed

** Description changed:

  software-properties is an old gtk application essentially focused on
- deb/apt world. Many of its features are dangerous or to complex for
+ deb/apt world. Many of its features are dangerous or too complex for
  normal users (removing main, enabling proposed, source without
  specifying what, …)
  
  With the Pro tab moved to the security center, it should be removed from
  the Desktop image in 26.04 so we do not maintain it for the life
- duration of the release.
- 
- At the same time software-properties-common contains add-apt-repository
- which it kind of useful and should be kept, either as this package  or
- renamed to something that really reflects what it’s shipping.
+ duration of the release and only software-properties-common should be
+ kept.
