Comment 5 for bug 1000350

Thanks for the patch, hyperair.

In the past I've specifically not added a direct dependency on python-appindicator. It keeps us closer to Debian. Also the code gracefully falls back to the old systray even if "enable_appindicator": True is set if it's not installed. So if you install it on Unity the indicator will just work, but if you install it on another desktop you won't pull in the indicator stack.

Does that make sense?

If we think that we need the dependency, I've got a good relation with the Debian maintainer. I imagine he'd be open to using dpkg-vendor to generate Ubuntu specific depends if I provided the patch.
