virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 wants to remove critical system files (Lucid Alpha 1)

[ankspo71]

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose-guest-x11

Hello,
I did not install this package because I saw that this package wants to remove ubuntu-desktop, xorg, xserver-xorg, xsever-xorg-core, and related files. I was using Synaptic Package Manager and when I toggled the checkbox to install the package, I was alerted that it wanted to remove the above packages. I feel this is critical because anyone interested in installing virtualbox OSE could end up losing their graphical interface. This list of packages to be removed does not match the dependencies list in synaptic either.
