This is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transmission/+bug/184238
(marked as fix committed).

These appear to have been removed now. The only outstanding issues
appear to be the presence of "hwtest-gtk" as the solitary item in
"System Tools" (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hwtest/+bug/204561)
and the presence of displayconfig-gtk in "Other"
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/displayconfig-gtk/+bug/203612
- fix committed).

So most of the prominent problems are either fixed or on their way to
being fixed.
