gsettings-ubuntu-schemas

So the conclusion is : if it is needed to properly open an X session then it SHOULD be a true dependency from another package, not just a recommended package.

Currently in artful gsettings-ubuntu-schemas is a dependency of the following packages:

$ apt-cache rdepends gsettings-ubuntu-schemas
gsettings-ubuntu-schemas
Reverse Depends:

  unity-control-center
  indicator-sound
  indicator-datetime
  gsettings-ubuntu-touch-schemas
  ubuntu-desktop

In this list no package is installed except ubuntu-desktop, and it is the only package in this list that set gsettings-ubuntu-schemas as a recommended packages.

So TMHO, gsettings-ubuntu-schemas SHOULD BE
