Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

With the new apt policy of installing recommends by default, ubuntu-sounds is depended upon by ubuntu-desktop.

Derivative distros don't necessarily want ubuntu-sounds installed.

  * debian/control.in:
    - don't depends on xbase-clients the depends workarounded an old xorg issue
    - don't recommends ubuntu-sounds since it is installed by default on ubuntu
      use a suggests and let other distribution install it or not (lp: #260558)
    - recommends alsa-utils rather than depends on it, only gdmplay it using it
      which is not something required to use the login screen (lp: #293075)
  * debian/gdm.init:
    - use w argument to match only the "text" word (lp: #294980)
  * debian/gdmplay:
