[Bug 336789] [NEW] Jaunty: Netbook-remix Confusion for new users with them thinking their device has a touchscreen

[davmor2]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-netbook-remix

In Ubuntu-Netbook-Remix alpha5 there are two menu items that are
specific to touchscreens.

Most Netbook don't have touch screens I believe it would make more sense
and confuse new netbook/Linux/Ubuntu users if this is removed and a
simple touchscreen-meta-package added to the repos which pulls in all
the calibration stuff.

This is what I can see happening else:

Joe Public: I'm returning this netbook the touchscreen dosen't work
Sales: Oh this device doesn't have a touch screen
JP: Yes it does look here's the facility to calibrate it
S: No really it doesn't why don't you have the xp version instead and go away

** Affects: mobile-meta (Ubuntu)
