Title:
  SRU: Default dependency resolution in Focal pulls in full GNOME
  Desktop

Bug description:
  In Bionic, screen-resolution-extra has a dependency on
  policykit-1-gnome | polkit-1-auth-agent. Focal replaces this with a
  dependency on gnome-shell | policykit-1-gnome | polkit-1-auth-agent.
  As a result, when install screen-resolution-extra (e.g. as a
  dependency of nvidia-settings) on a system that doesn't already have
  GNOME or another polkit auth agent installed, the default dependency
  resolution pulls in a full GNOME desktop in Focal, while it does not
  do so under the same circumstances in Bionic. This can be worked
  around by explicitly installing policykit-1-gnome (or another package
  which provides the polkit-1-auth-agent virtual package), but it would
  be nice to not pull in GNOME by default on a system that doesn't
  already have it.

  [Impact]

  * Installing the nvidia-settings package causes gnome-shell to be
  installed. This is less than ideal on servers.

  [Fix]

  * Moving policykit-1-gnome ahead as the first of the polkit
  dependencies will solve the problem.

  [Test Case]

  * Install screen-resolution-extra from proposed on a system where no
  polkit-1-auth-agent provider is installed, and check that gnome-shell
  is not installed as a dependency.

  [Regression Risk]
  Low, as the change will still allow the dependency to be satisfied.
