It's a meta package, like installing 'ubuntu-desktop' will install all
of the packages you need for a standard Ubuntu desktop, -minimal will
give you a basic system. Uninstalling it would mean that in the future
if another package was added to to the meta package, you wouldn't get
that additional package on upgrade. You can run 'dpkg-query -f
'${Depends}\n' -W ubuntu-minimal' to see the packages that it
installs. You could also remove the dhcp3-client package with
--force-depends, which just runs the risk that it gets reinstalled
later during an upgrade. There's probably a complex pinning solution
too, but I can't fathom it.
