Bug still exists. Simple installation of Xubuntu Desktop on top of 19.04 (disco) mini.iso with `sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop` results in long list of unwanted GNOME packages.

I have created two outputs of `dpkg -l` before (mini.iso) and after xubuntu-desktop installation.

So user still can't simply install Xubuntu on top of minimal system.
