Are we looking at the same web page?: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=431737 > > Removing essential packages in gnome is not necessarily a bug.

Just imagine that I submit a bug against a file manager because, when I double click on a file, the manager deletes that file. But then you say: if you right click on the file and select "remove", the file is removed. Is that your reasoning? Only packages which weren't directly installed (for example, libfoo after # > apt-get install foo;) are supposed to be marked as automatically > installed. I know Does this match the situation you described? gdm was installed when I installed Debian. I am afraid I am unable to say anything else.
