Ack!  You essentially overrode Ubuntu's design, and TOLD apt to remove
everything (it didn't do it without you saying "y" to the prompt, or
telling it to assume "yes" in the first place), and because you've done
something dumb (no dumber than some of the things I've done, but _still_
dumb) you think we need to fix the dependency checking?

You _can't_ mix Debian and Ubuntu and expect everything to "Just Work".  You
can do it, but you had better watch _very_ carefully whenever you try to
update software.
