Merge ~alichtman/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta:heif-support-by-default into ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta:ubuntu/devel

[Aaron Lichtman]

Add HEIF / HEIC support by default on desktop

Adding heif-gdk-pixbuf and heif-thumbnailer to the desktop-recommends-* files will allow HEIF / HEIC files to be shown in thumbnails in Nautilus, and previewed in eog, by default.

Fixes Bug #1886271

I'm not really sure how to test this definitively, or if this merge request is going to the right branch. Please lmk if there's a better place for this to go.

I was able to solve the problem described in the bug report on my Ubuntu machine by installing these packages, so this change makes sense to me.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

This is not the right branch to merge to; the contents of the ubuntu-meta package are autogenerated from https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/ubuntu/ using the ./update script.

Also, libheif is in universe, not in main. All packages must go through the main inclusion process https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-mir before they are accepted into main. An MIR was started for libheif some time ago (bug #1827442) but the package as of today does not meet the requirements to be promoted to main.

I am therefore rejecting this MP.

If and when libheif is accepted into main, it is also preferred that these components be pulled in as depends/recommends of the application that use them, rather than being directly seeded in ubuntu-meta.
