A closely related issue has to do with meta-packages. Try removing kdm in kubuntu. It will silently select "kubuntu-desktop". That's already bad enough. But even if we added a pop-up instead of quietly selecting the dependency (kubuntu-desktop), it wouldn't be good enough: the user doesn't necessarily know that kubuntu-desktop spans many hundreds packages ...
