Public bug reported:
Does anyone know why Ubuntu MATE meta-packages require Firefox? A meta
package for a distribution depending on a browser seems strange to me.
For example, on Ubuntu (normal Ubuntu) removing Firefox does not remove
the ubuntu-desktop metapackage. I'm fairly certain that other
distributions based on Ubuntu don't have this problem either. If you ask
me, this seems like a bug we should file and help fix. I think the
correct action here would be for the Ubuntu MATE metapackages to set
Firefox as a "recommended" package rather than a "required" one. I could
be wrong on that though.
** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
