Oic.  Well, I used to have that removed, and everything ran just fine. 
I guess it only poses a problem if U don't have it when your doing an
upgrade.

In fact, they do have a warning.

"This package depends on all of the packages in the Ubuntu desktop system

It is also used to help ensure proper upgrades, so it is recommended that
it not be removed."
