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

[Colin Watson]

click doesn't have a particular dependency on the apt backend, so I
don't understand the purpose of your smiley here.

That said, the aptcc backend is still useful on touch to allow querying
information about the installed system.  I'd prefer not to remove it.

Title:
  packagekit-backend-aptcc is present on touch images

Status in “packagekit” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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?
