The following lets me suspect pulseaudio's dependencies are too broad, giving rise to an overzealous removal: grep remove /var/log/dpkg.log2014-09-27 12:18:58 startup packages remove 2014-09-27 12:18:58 remove xul-ext-webaccounts:amd64 0.5-0ubuntu2 <none> 2014-09-27 12:18:59 remove webaccounts-extension-common:amd64 0.5-0ubuntu2 <none> 2014-09-27 12:19:00 remove unity-control-center-signon:amd64 0.1.7~+14.04.20140211.2-0ubuntu4 <none> 2014-09-27 12:19:01 remove ubuntu-desktop:amd64 1.325 <none> 2014-09-27 12:19:02 remove libcanberra-pulse:amd64 0.30-0ubuntu3 <none> 2014-09-27 12:19:02 remove pulseaudio-module-x11:amd64 1:4.0-0ubuntu11 <none> 2014-09-27 12:19:03 remove pulseaudio-module-bluetooth:amd64 1:4.0-0ubuntu11 <none> 2014-09-27 12:19:05 remove unity-control-center:amd64 14.04.3+14.04.20140604-0ubuntu1 <none> 2014-09-27 12:19:06 remove indicator-sound:amd64 12.10.2+14.04.20140401-0ubuntu1 <none> 2014-09-27 12:19:06 remove pulseaudio:amd64 1:4.0-0ubuntu11 <none> Users most likely will neither be aware of that log nor able to reinstall the required packages (and icons) for recovery.
