Title:
  Popularity Contest should be uninstallable

Status in popularity-contest package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: popularity-contest

  Popularity Contest is (at least in hardy) enabled by default.
  It now has a dependency with ubuntu-standard, and no menu item in "services".
  This means that switching it off cannot be done via the GNOME UI.
  There are several reasons why a user or administrator would like to switch it off.

  I see no reason for the dependency with ubuntu-standard, except in order to FORCE users to enable it when using Ubuntu.
  Making it recommended for ubuntu-standard, instead of a hard dependency would enable me to uninstall it using synaptic package manager.
