Why do you think this is a bug?  What issue or harm does it cause?  You
should only see this is you look at the "details" window during the
package installation from upgrade-manager, most users never see it.

As far as I know, this is just debconf looking for GNOME and not finding
it, which I would consider normal expected behaviour (since LUbuntu does
not include GNOME!), and so this is (as far as I can see) not a bug.

If this message results in failed installations, or the message in
itself causes a problem for you, please state more clearly what the
problem is.

Thanks,

Jonathan
