Bug Description
This dependency is backwards. These dependencies should be depending on gnome-session instead, as they require it to function properly. If gnome-session is going to have any sort of dependency on them, it should at most be Recommends. I would like to use another window manager instead, but still use gnome-session and other GNOME related features, but I cannot remove these packages and keep gnome-session as it stands. This was not an issue in 11.04 where I could remove the unity packages and keep gnome-session installed.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-session - 3.2.1-0ubuntu4
---------------
gnome-session (3.2.1-0ubuntu4) precise; urgency=low
* Backport some of the Debian changes manager, the code gnome-session uses daemon patches/ 50_ubuntu_ sessions. patch:
* debian/control.in:
- drop the Recommends on gnome-power-
has moved to gnome-settings-
- drop the build-depends on librsvg2-dev
- Recommends "unity | unity-2d | gnome-shell" rather than Depends on it,
some users want to use gnome-session without those (lp: #854058).
* debian/
- restore the "no notifications in fallback sessions" for Ubuntu,
the required components need an autostart .desktop where notify-osd
doesn't have one, let them be dbus activated rather (lp: #885939)
[ Michael Biebl ] fallback and patches/ 13_no_fallback_ notification. patch so the session
* Remove Depends on policykit-1-gnome from gnome-session as gnome-shell
provides its own integrated PolicyKit authentication agent.
* Remove notification-daemon from gnome-session Recommends as gnome-shell
has an integrated notification system.
* Make notification-daemon a Depends of the gnome-session-
remove debian/
manager starts notification-daemon in the fallback case.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.2. No further changes.
