Bug Description

Currently u-c-c depends on g-c-c-shared-data that prevents that one to be moved to universe. The shared data include 2 things
- some image to be used for user accounts
- some polkit rules

the image are small, we could copy them in u-c-c, the polkit rules could be included in the desktop profile instead

debdiff for g-c-c (adding it this way rather than using the vcs since there is already a work in progress 3.18 update in there)

ok, so the images are in a shared location so the suggested change in 3 bits

1- let unity-control-center ship&install the user images in a new binary
2- include the permissions that were shipping in g-c-c in the desktop profile, it's a more logic place anyway
3- drop the g-c-c binary that included those items, recommends the new u-c-c one

While you are at it, the description of the packages libunity-control-center1 and unity-control-center reads:
  utilities to configure the GNOME desktop
and should be
  utilities to configure Unity
or something more appropriate.

---------------
gnome-control-center (1:3.18.2-1ubuntu2) xenial; urgency=medium

  * debian/gnome-control-center.pkla:
    - removed, include those permissions in policykit-desktop-privileges
      instead which is a more logical place for that (lp: #1512435)
  * debian/control.in:
    - drop g-c-c-shared-data, that only included the permissions listed
      before and some user-account images which are built from
      unity-control-center now, recommends that new binary instead
