[Bug 1299953] Re: Please add 'ubuntu-gnome-desktop' to tasksel

[Erick Brunzell]

Purely from a performance aspect I know that the inclusion of 'unity-
settings-daemon' does not break anything because it's pulled in with
'gnome-session-flashback' and I've been testing multiple user setups,
eg; user #1 uses 'gnome-shell' and user #2 uses flashback w/metacity.

I've been using this mini.iso CLI install + 'ubuntu-gnome-desktop' for
several hours and the only usability problem I encountered was the need
to install 'firefox-locale-en' but I think that's common with most (or
all) netboot installs.

The only other thing I see that could possibly be needed post-
installation are the "account-plugin" packages but I don't use them
anyway so I'm unsure.

I would like to see Colin Watson weigh in on this change because the
last time I recommended a change to 'tasksel' things kind of blew up.
That was shortly after Lubuntu went official.
