totem-xine install removes ubuntu-desktop

Hi all,

I was following the FAQ for restricted formats to setup totem to play
MPEG files.  When I go to install totem-xine in Synaptic, it removes
totem-gstreamer and ubunutu-desktop.  I'm new to Debian package
management (coming from Gentoo) and removing ubuntu-desktop scares me a
little bit.  Everything seems to work after the totem-xine install.  Do
I have anything to worry about?  Am I going to have problems with ubuntu
upgrades?

Thanks

Side notes:

1.)  Really enjoying Ubuntu. A lot quicker to get going and to work with
than Gentoo.  Watching a package install in mere seconds is a bit mind
boggling. 

2.)  I *think* I am having withdrawal symptoms from KDE 3.3.  I've never
really used gnome before and am having a little trouble adjusting to it.

3.)  I'd like to see ndiswrapper-utils added to the install CD, as for
some people, the package needs to be installed before they can get
internet access.

4.) I like the human theme.  ;-)


Thanks again,

Todd Maynard
