Then why, under Breezy, does the xfce4 metapackage have this description?

"Description: Installs Xfce4 core and scripts to set it up
 This package is a pseudo meta package: It basically installs the
 core modules of the Xfce4 desktop environment and some scripts to
 get it work (for example a launch script for GDM and a script
 that does the necessary things to create a local Xfce4 setup in
 a user's $HOME-dir). If you intend to Xfce4, installing this
 package is a good point to start with and highly recommended.
