Title:
  attempting to remove gwibber should not say that ubuntu-desktop will
  be removed

Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  OS: Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric stable
  Application: Gwibber 3.2.0.1-0ubuntu1

  Ubuntu is about the choice to mix and match applications. Attempting
  to remove gwibber, however, throws up the message that "ubuntu-
  desktop" will have to be removed as well. this is a scary and
  misleading message, as I have been informed that ubuntu-desktop is
  merely a metapackage of dependencies (here,
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/66244/how-do-i-safely-remove-gwibber).

  This message should not pop up.
