It's supposed to be an easy way and quick way to get related packages installed. To get rid of things, you would want to use a frontend like diety, dselect, or just apt-get. Im sure there's a way you could use your shell of choice to grep through /var/lib/dpkg/available and spit out packages with the Task: desktop flag, then just pipe it to apt-get remove or something, but I'm not going to figure out how. :) Andrew S.
