Confirmed these additional packages slightly improve the experience on yakkety desktop.

Three problems though:
  1. friends-app does not exist
  2. notes-app never launches (missing something?)
  3. mediaplayer-app installs but never appears in Unity8. Is that normal?

I agree that the friends-app should be removed since it does not exist and this MP is probably a good place to do that.

notes-app not launching should probably be addressed with whoever maintains notes-app.

mediaplayer-app not showing up should be addressed with whoever maintains mediaplayer-app.

93. By Stephen M. Webb on 2016-07-23: removed suggested apps, since they are not supported in Ubuntu

Removed friends-app (not in archives) and notes-app (does not appear to be supported in Ubuntu after 15.04).

The mediaplayer-app shows up for me and runs in Unity 8.

Just realized bug #1606518, should the OSK be pulled in by unity8-desktop-session, too?

The OSK is already pulled in as a dependency of the unity8 package. I don;t see any reason to change that at this point. The MP at https://code.launchpad.net/~bregma/unity8-desktop-session/lp-1590439/+merge/299755 should fix the problem of $QT_IM_MODULE not being set on desktop.
