Public bug reported:

"apt-get --purge autoremove ubuntu-standard" wants to remove a lot more
packages than just ubuntu-standard. Bug 1479207 is a previous version of
this.

Using apt version 1.5 on Artful Aardvark:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  accountsservice* apparmor* bind9-host* busybox-static* command-not-found* 
command-not-found-data* cpio* cron* dbus* dh-python* distro-info-data* 
dmidecode* dnsutils*
  friendly-recovery* ftp* fuse* geoip-database* gettext-base* gir1.2-glib-2.0* 
hdparm* info* iptables* iputils-tracepath* irqbalance* iso-codes* krb5-locales*
  language-selector-common* libaccountsservice0*...

This does work correctly on Trusty with apt version 1.0.1ubuntu2.17.
