Public bug reported:
As suggested in MIR bug 1783600, we would prefer to not have gtk2 in the
default install.
Therefore, I recommend splitting out yaru-theme-gtk2 (with its
dependencies on the gtk2 theme engines) and then have Ubuntu's
libgtk2.0-0 recommend or depend on that package. I prefer it be a
Depends, but there may be concerns about circular dependencies.
Other Info
----------
thunderbird still depends on gtk2 but once Thunderbird 60 is packaged, we
should be able to do a similar hack as the Firefox package so that it can drop
the gtk2 dependency.
For now, we still end up needing gtk2 on the ISO because of gparted and
3 input methods.
