I would also like to request the removal of this unnecessary dependancy.
We use Ubuntu Server in a fully virtualized environment, where text
console is used to access our virtual machines.
For this reason, a graphical boot screen is of no use at all, and the
fact we can't just purge this package to keep things tidy is quite
frustrating.
I understand that Ubuntu aims to provide a graphically pleasing
environment, but as an enterprise running hundreds of virtual machines,
we like to run things as bear metal as possible.
Please don't take that choice away from experienced system engineers,
who want to customize their environment for optimal performance and
reliability.
There is no reason not to make this dependancy recommends and maybe
use ubuntu-standard or ubuntu-desktop to ensure the package gets
installed in a tipical install, but there is also no reason to force
users to keep something installed that isn't an essential
requirement.
Please remember that Ubuntu isn't only an attractive desktop
environment, there are also power users out there who want to use it as
a secure, reliable, up-to-date, production ready enterprise server
environment.
I strongly encourage you to consider all the audiences your decision is
impacting, and please reconsider this as an optional dependancy.
Thanks
