Bug Description
This pulls in libunity9 and some dependent libraries that seemingly aren't needed unless you're running unity or a service that acts in a similar fashion. If this assessment is correct, could that Recommends be reduced to a Suggests?
Quoting from Debian Policy 7.2:
Recommends
This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency.
The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations.
