actually I think this is true only for Warty.  I believe now in Hoary,
replacing totem-gstreamer by totem-xine doesn't remove ubuntu-desktop;
at least it appears so  looking at the dependencies of the package (I
haven't tried it myself).

Of course that's not going to help you if you removed ubuntu-desktop,
then did an upgrade to Hoary.

Maybe these 2 wiki pages should be better known for the crowd
attempting  upgrades from Warty to Hoary (especially the "all
upgrades" section in Warty's):
