I'm fairly sure here that the fix for this bug caused a dependency growth in the cloud-images of a bunch of graphical packages.
See http://paste.ubuntu.com/1190881/ . I'm pretty sure all the new packages there are a result of the dependency added here.

[Dave Walker (davewalker)]

Not just cloud images, but Ubuntu Server aswell.

Ugh.
