Title:
  Removing vim-tiny shouldn't remove ubuntu-minimal

Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in vim package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When I remove vim-tiny,
  it says ubuntu-minimal will be removed too,
  but ubuntu-minimal is important (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaPackages):

  ubuntu-minimal: This package depends on all of the packages in the
  Ubuntu minimal system, that is a functional command-line system with
  the following capabilities: Boot, Detect hardware, Connect to a
  network, Install packages, and Perform basic diagnostics. It is also
  used to help ensure proper upgrades, so it is recommended that it not
  be removed.

  I think this is probably a bug.
