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

[Matthias Klumpp]

The Click plugin interacts with the backend, and aptcc is the only
backend Debian/Ubuntu have. With the dummy backend, it would get bogus
information, so it in a way depends on the aptcc backend.

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?
