Public bug reported:
In Bionic, screen-resolution-extra has a dependency on policykit-1-gnome
| polkit-1-auth-agent. Focal replaces this with a dependency on gnome-
shell | policykit-1-gnome | polkit-1-auth-agent. As a result, when
install screen-resolution-extra (e.g. as a dependency of nvidia-
settings) on a system that doesn't already have GNOME or another polkit
auth agent installed, the default dependency resolution pulls in a full
GNOME desktop in Focal, while it does not do so under the same
circumstances in Bionic. This can be worked around by explicitly
installing policykit-1-gnome (or another package which provides the
polkit-1-auth-agent virtual package), but it would be nice to not pull
in GNOME by default on a system that doesn't already have it.
