Binary package hint: software-center
On a fresh 9.10 install with latest updates, when a user opens Ubuntu Software Center and tries to delete Python, there isn't any alert although many packages depend on it. The software just requests the password without any other confirmation.
This behaviour doesn't follow the guidelines explained at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#Removing%20an%20application
After the removal process is started, X shutdowns itself and the distribution becomes pretty broken. Software center should prevent important packages removal like python since other apt frontends already do that.
I'm really astonished this bug wasn't found during the beta, how could this slip through some revision process?

After some digging I've found this bug can be replicated with Italian or French language, but doesn't with English language, so it seems related to localization. It still remains critical, for people who don't use Ubuntu in English.
