Bug#968634: gnome-control-center: online accounts panel does not check whether gnome-online-accounts installed

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.37.3-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I removed gnome-online-accounts with apt, but its panel in gnome-control-center remained,
even though it turned broken. I expected that removing the package will remove the panel too 
because it is not necessary and does not work properly without the package.

I removed gnome-online-accounts-panel.desktop from /usr/share/applications/ with rm.
It was effective. The broken panel of online accounts disappeared from the control center.

I installed gnome-online-accounts, but the panel in the control center did not re-appear.
I reinstalled gnome-control-center and the panel returned. I expected that reinstalling  
gnome-online-accounts should return the panel because it is necessary to operate the package.

I propose changing the availability of the panel in the gnome-control-center depending on
whether the package gnome-online-accounts is installed or not.

Best wishes
Roman
