apt irritating behaviour (fam and gamin)

I had 'fam' installed.  I then installed gamin and gamin-dev, which
eventually replaced fam.  But when I tried 'apt-get remove'ing gamin,
it asked to remove about 115 packages including gnome apps ....

Even if when I tried to 'apt-get install fam' .. it asked to remove
huge amount of packages including gamin.

I do not expect that behaviour.  If I installed a package (gamin) ..
and immediately decided to uninstall it .. only that package must be
removed.
