Public bug reported: 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.
