Hi Julien, I'd like to add a note to the Wiki on this matter, I've got a rough draft below (and I *think *I know understand it ;-) )
--> If you wish to remove a programme from lubuntu, you may be told that by doing so it will remove "lubuntu-desktop". Lubuntu-desktop is only used for upgrade (when you change the Lubuntu version) or initial installation of lubuntu and can be safely removed. It would just need adding back in when you go to update from, say, 10.04 to 10.10. Lubuntu-desktop is what is called a 'meta-package' which, simply put, is just a list of what to install. It is a design decision that all packages included in lubuntu-desktop depend on it, so as to be able to use * --no-install-recommends* option when the initial installation occurs, thus preventing extra files that will use your precious resources of disk space, RAM and CPU time being placed onto your computer. <-- If you can correct any factual errors (thus helping me fully understand it), I'll have a go at changing it into something more readable. Regards, Phill.
