If you are talking about why 'lubuntu-desktop' package would be removed when one small part of its dependency is removed, you can choose to ignore it and remove that package since it is only a meta-package that contains (literally) nothing inside it. It won't hurt other programs.
Besides, the first thing that I did when I installed lubuntu in my netbook was to remove xfburn, and my desktop works just as fine :) Of course, if your package manager insists that other parts of lubuntu-desktop to be removed as well, that's another story...
