Yes, it seems Maxim and I have conflicting goals.  Maxim wants to avoid
"abusing" gnome-shell-assets whereas I want to avoid propagation, as it
pollutes profiles.  Perhaps Maxim and I can agree on how to interpret
gnome-shell-assets, as IIUC even with packages that aren't "pure data"
only the data portion of it ought to be relevant, no?

We should do so especially because the newly propagated variables are
anyhow propagated by gnome-desktop-service, which could constitute
weird behaviour all around.

Cheers
