Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: germinate
Cody Somerville noticed that usplash-theme-ubuntu was being pulled into
the Xubuntu desktop task (and indeed all flavours' desktop tasks),
despite other usplash themes being seeded. I think this is because
usplash is in the desktop-common seed now. Normally germinate promotes
packages from "lesser" seeds (for this purpose, desktop is a lesser seed
relative to desktop-common because it inherits from it) in preference to
finding one for itself; however this doesn't work in this case because
the dependency relation from usplash is on the usplash-theme virtual
package and germinate doesn't consider this. It needs to.
