** Description changed:

  The cinnamon package recommends `cinnamon-core`. I only now just
  realized that `cinnamon-core` recommends `desktop-base`, which places
  defaults for /etc/skel/.face and sets the profile picture to Debian on
  Ubuntu Cinnamon images (and new installations).
  
  This has probably been going on since installing recommends was enabled
  by default a few years ago..
  
- 
- Fix is to drop cinnamon-core as a recommend. I'll need to reevaluate the 
dependency list, but everything cinnamon-core depends on is something cinnamon 
does, with a couple exceptions:

  - gnome-terminal | x-terminal-emulator

+ gnome-terminal is already a recommends of cinnamon, so that's fine.

+ So basically just recommend slick-greeter | lightdm | x-display-manager
