(Get the code!)
well, Gimp for one. I also probably won't need OpenOffice or Evolution on this box. as close as I can tell, the only reason that these are listed as required, is that adminsitration interfaces have been included in the ubuntu-desktop. that implies that they didn't want to mandate checking for package install before running the admin tool, so the dealt with the problem by attaching the dependency.
perhaps not the most user friendly option available. I have seen references online to ways to break these dependency links manually, but I have to look into it further.
