If I understand you correctly, Matthew, we have a couple of problems.
1) This message fails to appear when a dependency of ubuntu-desktop is marked
for removal: “{title} is a core item in Ubuntu. Removing it may cause future
upgrades to be incomplete.”
2) When a very important package is marked for removal, the user isn't very
strongly warned that it's a bad idea.
> If there is an identifiable set of packages where removing any one of
them prevents Ubuntu from starting up, there should be a separate bug
report for USC to warn more strongly in that case.
Perhaps someone can suggest a way to identify such packages. In my
duplicate Bug #653293, I suggested simply hard-coding a list of
important packages into USC. It's not pretty, but it's better than
what's in place now.
Should these bugs be unmarked as duplicates since we have two issues to
be addressed?
