In this case the user will see an error saying they are missing 'ubuntu-2d'
session. This is similar to what will happen if the user doesn't have
unity-2d installed, and the system doesn't pass the unity support test. Of
course this shouldn't happen as the ubuntu-desktop package depends on the
unity-2d package.

I should add an override to disable this script. Something like the
UNITY_ALLOW_RTL variable we had in the previous patch.

I don't think this script will break anything, but it is true that it
should be tested.
