The kernel has its own metapackages, built from linux-meta, one of which
is installed by default.
Adding a generic kernel to an ubuntu-meta metapackage would penalize
users who install a different kernel, by keeping an additional kernel on
the system (they're large). Fixing bug #11381 would make this somewhat
more feasible, but still awkward.
ubuntu-desktop doesn't provide any more warning than the kernel, but I
think that's a separate issue (kernel packages should warn you if you're
about to do something destructive)
