I understand your concern about bringing in additional packages onto the desktop image. What I don't agree with is removing the feature from indicator-power instead of figuring out the issues with all of those packages being brought onto the image. The issue is that liburl-dispatcher1 recommends url-dispatcher, as is customary on libraries that implement the interface of a service. We could remove the recommends. While that is breaking with tradition, from a practical level there will be no issue as url-dispatcher itself can be seeded on the touch images and we'll only be using it's features on those images anyway. If other people have solutions, I'd be happy to hear them. I don't think that we should revert a feature over a packaging issue. Ted
