Title:
  Ubuntu's gnome-shell extensions can't be uninstalled (safely)

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I like the Ubuntu themed GNOME desktop but I don't like dash-to-dock.
  As the preinstalled extensions, especially gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock are not deactivable and not removable atomic (they are hard dependcies of ubuntu-desktop), the only way to remove them is to rename the extensions folder. This will also restore the dock with every update of the gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package, as it creates this folder.

  Therfore, we should remove the hard dependcies.
