The plugin offers anything for removal that a meta package recommends or suggests. This only works as long as there are no other things depending on those packages. Which is clearly not the case here, as for example, plymouth-theme-ubuntustudio depends plymouth-label depends fonts-ubuntu, which is in the list of packages scheduled for removal by the plugin.
Also, the plugin requests removal of the meta packages themselves, which it probably should not be doing. It's not clear to me if that would fix anything, though, but my understanding is that we try to reinstantiate metapackages. So, the current combination of metapackages and plugin implementation does not work. I suggest that either - the implementation is changed to offer a selected group of packages - the recommends and suggests of metapackages are fixed such that they do not list anything anything other Depends on; and tools are added to prevent regressions - the plugin is disabled/removal Overall, I think this plugin is highly fragile, and not supportable, without having tools that check its assumptions on dependency trees.
