Works for me as well:

I wonder if...
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/en/man8/apt-get.8.html
install
...
Finally, the apt_preferences(5) mechanism allows you to create an
           alternative installation policy for individual packages.

           If no package matches the given expression and the expression
           contains one of '.', '?' or '*' then it is assumed to be a POSIX
           regular expression, and it is applied to all package names in the
           database. Any matches are then installed (or removed). Note that
           matching is done by substring so 'lo.*' matches 'how-lo' and
           'lowest'. If this is undesired, anchor the regular expression
with
           a '^' or '$' character, or create a more specific regular
           expression.

this is why? I guess not as:
sudo apt-get -s install ubuntu-desktop$
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'edubuntu-desktop' for regex 'ubuntu-desktop$'
Note, selecting 'ubuntu-desktop' for regex 'ubuntu-desktop$'
Note, selecting 'kubuntu-desktop' for regex 'ubuntu-desktop$'
Note, selecting 'xubuntu-desktop' for regex 'ubuntu-desktop$'
Note, selecting 'lubuntu-desktop' for regex 'ubuntu-desktop$'
ubuntu-desktop is already the newest version.
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 lubuntu-desktop : Depends: lxdm but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

Anyway, thanks for the tip!
