The "trisquel" meta-package only defines a set of packages: the default Trisquel system. Same thing for "trisquel-mini". In the Synaptic package manager, you can look at the "Properties" of any package. There is a button for that. Among the properties, one tab deals with the "Installed files". You can see that a meta-package, such as "trisquel" or "trisquel-mini", only installs two documentation files. However, it "depends" on the default system, i.e., all this default system is installed if the meta-package is installed. Those "dependencies" are listed in the eponymous tab.

You can install *any* package (e.g., "fluxbox") and it will not remove "trisquel". You can also remove packages from the default system: "trisquel" or "trisquel-mini" will be removed but it only means you do not have the default system anymore.
