[Bug 1754872] Re: apt install xubuntu-desktop does not resolve dependencies properly

[anon697725]

My experience is that installing 'apt-get install xubuntu-desktop'
doesn't produce the desired results as it pulls in recommends that will
pull in the extra items listed above in #32 for the reasons explained in
#25.

I've had better success with 'apt-get install xubuntu-desktop^' which
doesn't pull in the extra 110ish packages for the other desktops.

Perhaps there could be better clarification on what the xubuntu-desktop
TASK is doing compared to the xubuntu-desktop META-PACKAGE.

Maybe there could be a maintained list of what goes into a xubuntu
installation so people can make more informed decisions on what to
install for the xubuntu desktop on a minimal server install or having
multiple desktops installed (which poses other issues).
