gnome-shell should recommend chrome-gnome-shell

Thanks for preparing the SRU! This doesn't seem to be the case for artful though, is it? Checking the packaging for gnome-shell (3.24.2-0ubuntu4) I don't see the same Recommends as proposed here - is it not needed there? Or is it a bug that only affects gnome users below 3.24? Same for zesty.

Łukasz, the last paragraph of the bug's description explains why 17.10 artful does not currently recommend chrome-gnome-shell (it's to make the gnome-shell MIR easier but I think chrome-gnome-shell will be in main and that recommends will be re-added before 17.10 is released).

zesty's gnome-shell already does recommend chrome-gnome-shell.

Should this bug be fully closed yet?

Daniel, it was Fix Released until we needed to promote gnome-shell to main. chrome-gnome-shell's MIR is blocked (LP: #1695565).
