Of course it will uninstall the entire GNOME, as several core GNOME libs
depends on libesd0 | libesd-alsa0, such as libgnome2-0. You might not
noticed that when you installed libesd-alsa0 libesd0 was uninstalled
because libesd-alsa0 conflicts/replaces libesd0 (where libesd0 was
selected by default when installing GNOME). Check the output of
`apt-cache rdepends libesd-alsa0` to get a clearer idea.
