Though I am well aware that trisquel and trisquel-recommended are metapackages (and so in theory the actual packages beneath them shouldn't be removed) in the past (when trying to purge Evolution for example) it said that a whole bunch of libraries, dependencies, and a few other programs (!) would also be removed. Not 'to be autoremoved'- actually *removed* in the uninstallation process. That put me off purging packages under trisquel in the future.
Also, isn't there a potential problem with future updates to the metapackage? Say the trisquel metapackage is updating and has new dependencies added. You wouldn't get the new updates to the Trisquel desktop experience without trisquel proper. Isn't it just a safer bet to have the metapackages there and leave alone? Just in case? Or does that sort of thing not really happen?
