I think it's a separate bug that all the dependencies of
ubuntu-mate-core are repeated in ubuntu-mate-desktop rather than just
relying on ubuntu-mate-desktop's dependency on ubuntu-mate-core for
that.  However, for the purposes of the bug report, it doesn't really
matter, since the same change to the underlying "seed" files used to
generate the metapackages will affect both.
