Removing some packages, not ubuntu-standard

[Stephen R Laniel]

I'd like to remove the ppp-related packages (ppp, pppconfig,
pppoeconf), but doing so removes ubuntu-standard. As the
description of that package says,

 It is safe to remove this package if some of the standard system packages
 are not desired.  However, it is recommended that you keep it installed,
 because it is used to carry out certain upgrade transitions (such as adding
 new packages to the system).

So I don't really want to uninstall it. But I do want to
uninstall the PPP packages. (They don't take up much space
at all; it's just the principle of the thing.) Any way to do
that?
