[Bug 1283574] [NEW] packagekit-backend-aptcc is present on touch images

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Public bug reported:

Investigating the chain of reverse-depends of python2, i've noticed
gdebi-core / packagekit-backend-aptcc are pulled onto the images.

It appears that packagekit and packagekit-plugin-click are explicitely
seeded in, but packagekit has a hard dependency on packagekit-backend-
aptcc.

I don't believe packagekit-backend-aptcc should be present on the touch
images, since they are read-only by default and no apt operations are
expected to be performed. Would it be reasonable to change packagekit
Depends to "packagekit-backend-aptcc | packagekit-plugin-click" such
that packagekit-backend-aptcc could be avoided on the touch images?
