This description is more for the lubuntu-desktop metapackage, in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaPackages#Ubuntu System Metapackages . No need to mention why lubuntu-desktop is build with depends. This page is for beginners, they don't need to know about --no-install-recommends. Also the mention that it can be safely removed is true for all metapackage, no need to add it. Finally, lxde metapackage should have another description, close to the xfce one.

[Lubuntu-desktop] meta package
Hi, (please do not hate me too much today) could you have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaPackages and phrase our lxde variant to it. Based on: *xfce*: This package is a meta-package; it depends on the core packages of the Xfce4 desktop environment and recommends some extra Xfce4 packages. If you intend to use Xfce4 and want the full experience then installing this package and the packages it Recommends is a great place to start. If you just want to pick and choose the core components then feel free to remove this package. I would make it for us as: *lxde*: This package is the meta-package for lubuntu; it 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 non-essential programs being installed. If you just want to pick and choose the which components of lubuntu to use, this package can be safely removed. Am I somewhere near? Sorry to bother you, I'm trying to get the Wiki area all sorted out; do expect some more questions. If there is someone else I should be liasing with for this task, please let me know.
