u-c-c doesn't need this package. It is only depended on by
gnome-control-center. The only way that it will be removed is by an apt-get
autoremove right?

The "System Settings" menu item? I guess we should prompt a restart after
installing unity-control-center as all in-memory apps will try and launch
gnome-control-center instead of unity-control-center.

I believe so - it used to work fine before the GTK 3.10 upgrade.

I copied all the translations from g-c-c and I'm currently merging in
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/gnome-control-center-unity/+pots/gnome-control-center-unity-
are there any others that I don't know of? In particular, I couldn't
seem
to find any Ubuntu specific translations for gnome-control-center.
