Title:
  update-manager seems to have an unnecessary recommends on
  gir1.2-unity-5.0

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

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.
