Ah. Now that you poit it out, software-properties-common is seeded by non-desktop as well (eg. Server) so maybe it was a mistake to add it to ubuntu-desktop, and it belongs to the same category as things like plymouth? I didn't notice before because I was thinking about software-properties-gtk only, and then mapped it later to the actual source package without thinking about the original packageset suitability question. Who manages https://launchpad.net/software-properties (as opposed to software-properties package upload permission) is outside the remit of the Ubuntu DMB though, as it's an "upstream" from the perspective of packaging (even if in practice it's only used by Ubuntu). I think it's up to Ubuntu core devs collectively to decide how to best manage it, as opposed to the DMB.
