gnome-pilot isn't directly a dependency of ubuntu-desktop: ubuntu-
desktop depends on gnome-pilot-conduits that, in turns, depends on
gnome-pilot.

As of Intrepid, gnome-pilot-conduits was demoted from dependency to recomended 
dependency in ubuntu-desktop, but PalmOS Devices cannot be removed using 
gnome-app-install; Why?
Because PalmOS Devices (that is, an application in gnome-app-install) refers to 
gnome-pilot; but gnome-pilot is a dependency of gnome-pilot-conduits that, in 
turns, is a recomended dependency of ubuntu-desktop; so, software depends on 
PalmOS Devices and it cannot be removed (in gnome-app-install).

Some options to fix this:
1. replace the recomended dependency of gnome-pilot-conduits in ubuntu-desktop 
with gnome-pilot;
or
2. make the PalmOS Devices application refers to gnome-pilot-conduits instead 
of gnome-pilot.
