The way things are supposed to work, as far as I can remember, is that apt is supposed to remember that we installed the ubuntu-desktop *task* (etc.) and arrange for as much of the task as possible to remain installed. I don't recall whether it in fact acts this way right now. It may be difficult to do anything about this bug.
