I have just tried this in Natty alpha. If you try and uninstall Cups you get the following message. "If you uninstall Cups, future updates will not include new items in The Desktop system set. Ar you sure you want to continue." And if you scroll down the bottom item on the list is "The Ubuntu desktop system" If you continue you get a system that will not even boot into a command line. I feel this bug should not be about changing the warning, although that needs doing, but should be about not removing the bulk of the Ubuntu system, for no good reason. I understand, although I have not tried it, apt-get will get this right and remove cups and leave the system working.
