My immediate reaction to this is that I definitely don't want to add any 
more packages to vanilla-gnome-desktop, if anything I want to strip it 
back a little. Perhaps having a ubuntu-gnome-extra seed that doesnt 
actually filter down into the meta package could work though? There are 
probably a lot of packages in desktop-extra that I wouldn't generally 
upload, but would sponsor for people when the changes/patches are 
appropriate.

I am still following up on that, I suspect the task will be removed, and 
just install the meta-package
