Public bug reported:
As an Ubuntu minimal user I find it to be unnecessary to be forced to
install `ubuntu-wallpapers` when I install `gnome-shell`. I've tried
using `apt-mark hold ubuntu-wallpapers` but that causes the `gnome-
shell` installation to fail. After some investigation I found out the
`ubuntu-wallpapers` package is a required dependency of `gnome-shell`,
would it be possible to make `gnome-shell` to offer `ubuntu-wallpapers`
as recommended package?
Ubuntu release: Ubuntu 18.10
Package version: 3.30.1-2ubuntu1.18.10.1
What do you expect to happen?
The `ubuntu-wallpapers` package should be recommended (not required) when
installing `gnome-shell`
What happened instead?
The `gnome-shell` package depends on `ubuntu-wallpapers`
