Why is this a mandatory package at this stage of the desktop? Unless I missed something, we don't ship any of these applets in the default panel config, and it's not required by anything on a normal desktop install.
A concern here is there's a big difference between mandatory (installed by default) and optional (deeply buried, you have to know a magic package name string to find). We could possibly change the "Add to Panel" dialog to have a button "Install Popular Applets" which calls out to PackageKit if we wanted to reduce disk space usage or whatever I guess.
