Xorg and xinit depending on xterm seems far more okay than
ubuntu-desktop doing it. My bug is more about putting dependencies
where they belong and make the meta-packages a bit thinner than their
current state.

Also, let me use the magnificent Terminator without the need for
gnome-terminal to be installed please.
