Public bug reported:

Removing pulseaudio wipes out most entries from System Settings (as well
as its sidebar icon) on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

The following lets me suspect pulseaudio's dependencies are too broad,
giving rise to an overzealous removal:

grep remove /var/log/dpkg.log2014-09-27 12:18:58 startup packages remove
2014-09-27 12:18:58 remove xul-ext-webaccounts:amd64 0.5-0ubuntu2 <none>

2014-09-27 12:19:06 remove pulseaudio:amd64 1:4.0-0ubuntu11 <none>

Users most likely will neither be aware of that log nor able to
reinstall the required packages (and icons) for recovery.
