xorg has now been add as a depends for kubuntu-desktop. This didn't
change our current meta dependencies as it is still inherited also from
desktop-common at the moment, but the change is there now in the seed
for when that is dropped. So I will mark this for kubuntu-meta as fix
released.
** Changed in: kubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)

Bug description:
There was an announcement [1] this week that Ubuntu Desktop 25.10 will
no longer include the Xorg session. Ubuntu Desktop no longer needs
xserver-xorg in the default install and is working on removing it
there. The 'xorg' metapackage has a hard dependency on xserver-xorg.
'xorg' is included in desktop-common.
Therefore, we need 'xorg' to be removed from desktop-common and
individually added to all the other Ubuntu desktop flavor seeds.
I believe xorg installs unnecessary components and you might want to
pick and choose pieces instead. For instance, I don't think most
desktops need x11-apps or xcursor-themes.
You will need xserver-xorg if you install a session that uses xorg. If
you also include a Wayland session, you might want to split the Xorg
session to a separate binary package like Ubuntu Desktop 25.04 did
with ubuntu-session-xsession to allow people to try uninstalling that
package to use only the Wayland session.
