Public bug reported:

gnome-session-flashback doesn't seem to depend (even indirectly) on
lightdm, xorg, or any choosers, and it doesn't seem useful without these
dependencies.

I would expect to be able to start with a base system without X, request
installation of gnome-session-flashback, and have everything pulled in
to get a flashback session going.

Or am I missing some use for the package that doesn't include even the
xorg dependency?


Background:
We use ubuntu systems in critical experimental control, so we prefer to avoid 
pieces we don't need. Therefore, we've been starting with server installs and 
pulling in the minimum pieces to match our requirements. Our users prefer 
flashback, and we'd hoped that installing gnome-session-flashback would pull in 
the minimum dependencies to get a session running.
