Extra info from my Ubuntu MATE 18.04.5 LTS:
```
$ lsb_release -cs
bionic
$ apt-cache policy sessioninstaller
sessioninstaller:
Installed: 0.20+bzr150-0ubuntu4.1
Candidate: 0.20+bzr150-0ubuntu4.1
Version table:
*** 0.20+bzr150-0ubuntu4.1 500
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe i386 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
$ apt-cache rdepends sessioninstaller
sessioninstaller
Reverse Depends:
gnome-software
gnome-software
ubuntu-mate-desktop
ubuntu-mate-core
$ aptitude why sessioninstaller
i ubuntu-mate-desktop Recommends sessioninstaller
```
so the actual premise that nobody uses `sessioninstaller` was wrong.
