What I don't agree with is removing the feature from indicator-power instead of figuring out the issues with all of those packages being brought onto the image. The issue is that liburl-dispatcher1 recommends url-dispatcher, as is customary on libraries that implement the interface of a service. > > We could remove the recommends. While that is breaking with tradition, from a practical level there will be no issue as url-dispatcher itself can be seeded on the touch images and we'll only be using it's features on those images anyway. > > If other people have solutions, I'd be happy to hear them.

Actually i wish libraries and dev packages did not depend on the runtime utilities, they get in the way when crosscompiling stuff against the library. With respect to recommends - i think even now still ubuntu touch seed does not seed recommends, only depends. Thus a recommends is not enough to get that runtime utility onto the seed. Desktop seed however does consider recommends. Is url-dispatcher ready to be used on the desktop? In that case maybe apply for FFe to get it in now.
