>Why do you think you need to take those settings out of ubuntu-
settings?

1) We can ship all sorts unity specific overrides in unity-settings.
It's cleaner that way.

2) We want to ship per-desktop override of ".desktop" (ex: Gnome-
software) on "/usr/share/unity/applications". Rather patching each app
individually we could do that in unity-settings. That's what ubuntu-mate
does in ubuntu-mate-settings.

3) Not every gnome app will work well with unity. If we want to use a
alternative we need to override mimeapps list in
"/usr/share/applications/unity-mimeapps.list". We can easily do that in
unity-settings.

4) The idea is to have a separate ubuntu-unity-amd64.iso. But in the
default iso, both autologin and user-session names set to "ubuntu". If
we want to change that to "unity", we could do that by shipping a
override in "/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/51-autologin.conf".
unity-settings seems proper place to do that. Other option is to carry
similar settings in lightdm.

5) In future you may want to demote all unity related components/bits to
universe. For that you need to decouple unity-session from gnome-session
and a separate unity-settings.
