Package: gnome-core
Version: 1:43+1
Severity: wishlist

Dear developers,

In some restrained environments (i.e. when users are not administrators 
of their machines), having an app catalog while users are not allowed to 
install or remove packages is confusing.

Demoting gnome-software to Recommends would allow administrators of IT 
fleets to remove it completely from users' machines.

Optionally, also demoting gstreamer1.0-packagekit to Recommends would 
allow to remove packagekit completely from the default desktop install, 
which is also desirable in this use case.

Regards,
