Yes. Either split the GUI applications (the /usr/bin/binary and the
.desktop file) as a separate subpackage or split off the libraries
themselves as a -libs subpackage. Installing some addon for
gnome-documents that installs two non-removable *ugly* applications in
the software center is totally broken.

The analogy here would be if installing .zip support installed two
ugly GUI apps. That's clearly not right, and if this isn't reverted in
F20 I'll have no choice to blacklist the chainsaw and LogFactor5
applications from the software center.
