Fully agree on splitting the thing. One question, though: what do you think about installing the binaries in a different location (or with a different name), and have /usr/bin/gnome-control-center as a shell script that checks if we are running under unity (is that DESKTOP_SESSION=ubuntu?) and execs unity-control-center in that case, and the gnome-control-center in all the others?
That way, we might be able to reduce the number of affected packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-sound in Ubuntu.

We've made a lot of changes appropriate for Ubuntu and Unity (61 patches) which makes it hard to maintain and creates a conflict for Ubuntu GNOME to use the control center. Unity 7 will be replaced by Unity 8 in the future which has a new settings interface. So we can continue to remain on the current version of GNOME Control Center but allow Ubuntu GNOME to continue to update we will create a new project lp:unity-control-center which is a copy of GNOME Control Center 3.6 but with appropriate renaming so both can be installed. A number of packages that refer to gnome-control-center need to be updated to refer to unity-control-center (see bug tasks). A PPA for testing is https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive /unity-control-center/+packages.
