oh, and i wonder if instead of breaking xinit for the users that use it by dropping the dep or demoting xterm to x-terminal-emulator if we could probably just get away with not shipping it at all on the desktop (indeed that gets us in debugging hell where users are asked to run startx to produce a log etc, but we could just document that you have to install xinit in such cases)

Something is wrong here. I'd say either removing the depends on the terminal emulators from ubuntu-desktop or, in case of xorg getting replaced at some point, depend on xterm | x-terminal-emulator here too...
