[Bug 963946] [NEW] ubuntu-desktop unnecessarily hard depends on xterm while it already depends on gnome-terminal

[aidanjt]

Public bug reported:

As as per the summery, the ubuntu-desktop meta package unnecessarily
hard depends on xterm, while it already depends on gnome-terminal.
Given that gnome-terminal is clearly much more capable and provides
terminal emulation, adding a second terminal emulator is unnecessary and
might cause confusion.  This bug affects oneiric and precise.
