Assigned this issue to xubuntu-docs. Let's document the correct way to
handle the installation of the xubuntu-desktop package, and make it easy
for users to find (and forums to point to) when these questions arise in
the future.

I've added this to the 20.04 development blueprint, so let's revisit and
discuss. If we can't solve the problem with packaging, let's document
the mini.iso installation process so others have an easier time.

There are subtle differences between how the meta package is installed
and how tasks are installed, even if the meta package installs all task
packages.
tasksel effectively runs apt install xubuntu-desktop^, that is, it
installs all packages that have the xubuntu-desktop task field set. But
it
Are these tasks up-to-date and maintained by Ubuntu? Who knows. I never
even heard about tasks and tasksel until well after the abysmal
experience of trying to install the xubuntu-desktop package.
When I google "install xubuntu-desktop" this is what I see.
1 Answer
1. Install Xubuntu sudo
Use tasksel to install the task, it's what it's there for.

is obviously not fixed yet. However, the part regarding xfce4-session

Bug still exists. Simple installation of Xubuntu Desktop on top of 19.04
(disco) mini.iso with `sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop` results in long
list of unwanted GNOME packages.
I have created two outputs of `dpkg -l` before (mini.iso) and after
xubuntu-desktop installation.

Debian's xfce4-session package only recommends light-locker, so my

Bug exists in Cosmic. Please fix dependencies.
Many users currently trying to avoid GNOMEs Hell and some of them will
choose Xfce.
But such dependency problems make bad reputation of Xfce. So they may
consider to switch to KDE or MATE.

Julian, thanks for the detailed comment.
I assume that the only way to somewhat work around this problem is to
change the recommendation orders:
lightdm: recommend lightdm-gtk-greeter | unity-greeter | ...
xfce4-session: recommend light-locker | xscreensaver

There is no correct behavior here.
xubuntu-desktop depends on lightdm, lightdm-gtk-greeter; so apt will
install lightdm which Recommends unity-greeter | lightdm-greeter |
lightdm-kde-greeter. Hence apt installs unity-greeter. Then it installs
lightdm-gtk-greeter.
