Not sure if gwibber is considered part of the core experience for Ubuntu
desktop or not, but this is caused by the dependency in the meta package
itself, so moving this bug there for the maintainers to decide.

** Package changed: gwibber (Ubuntu) => ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)

Title:
  attempting to remove gwibber should not say that ubuntu-desktop will
  be removed

Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  OS: Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric stable
  Application: Gwibber 3.2.0.1-0ubuntu1

  Ubuntu is about the choice to mix and match applications. Attempting
  to remove gwibber, however, throws up the message that "ubuntu-
  desktop" will have to be removed as well. this is a scary and
  misleading message, as I have been informed that ubuntu-desktop is
  merely a metapackage of dependencies (here,
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/66244/how-do-i-safely-remove-gwibber).

  This message should not pop up.
