Public bug reported:

Update manager will not update the system, it errors out saying that
ubuntu-desktop was marked to be removed and is on the removal blacklist.
Doing a dist-upgrade at the console shows that, indeed, it wants to
remove ubuntu-desktop and unity2d. A regular upgrade shows a LOT of
packages held back.
