Adding packages to ubuntu-desktop packageset

[Alessandro Astone]

Mh.

The gstreamer plugins are part of the ubuntu-restricted-addons 
metapackage which, while not being seeded, we still offer on the desktop 
installer for the user to get all the codecs, so it's still an important 
part of Ubuntu Desktop:
- gst-plugins-bad1.0
- gst-plugins-ugly1.0
- gst-libav1.0
- gstreamer-vaapi

Some universe packages affect the GNOME Shell transitions, so we would 
like to be able to upload to them:
- gnome-shell-ubuntu-extensions
- gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect
- gpaste
- workrave
- gnome-shell-pomodoro
- gnome-kiosk
- gnome-shell-extensions

- loupe is in the process of being MIR'd.
- showtime will most likely be MIR'd next cycle.

- ptyxis is seeded in >= questing, while gnome-terminal is seeded in << 
questing

- src:pulseaudio has some seeded binary packages and some unseeded 
binary packages.

I think that covers all unseeded packages in the list.

For the reasons above, we would still like access to the unseeded 
packages I've included in the list. If being seeded is a hard 
requirement, I suppose the currently unseeded packages could go into the 
desktop-extra packageset instead?
