(1) This is not a "bug," per sé; vim-tiny is a dependency of ubuntu-minimal, so it makes sense that APT would want to remove ubuntu-minimal if you removed vim-tiny.

(2) Now that we've established that this isn't a bug, in the past, it has been requested, namely in Bug #100029, that vim-tiny be removed from ubuntu-minimal's dependencies, but it was marked as "Won't Fix." Thus, I will mark this as a duplicate of that bug, as this bug seems to imply as well that vim-tiny should not be a dependency of ubuntu-minimal. Please note, however, the related Bug #908132, which recommends that ubuntu-minimal depend on a meta package rather than vim-tiny.

Hope this helps!
