That would require a transitional empty checkbox-gtk package which
depends on -qt. If not, we can just switch it in ubuntu-desktop, but
then upgraders will have both.

It's okay to have both variants in principle. But if you don't support
the -gtk one any more, then it should be dropped from the archive.
