Bug#711322: Removing any package part of "gnome" meta-package results in dangerous "autoremove" apt-get suggestion

[Andrés G. Aragoneses]

Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.4+7


Steps to reproduce:

1. Install debian jessie, gnome option.
2. Remove a package that is part of the meta-package "gnome", via sudo
apt-get purge, i.e.: "tomboy" (if you're a mono hater) or "rhythmbox" (if
you're a mono lover?).
3. Use apt-get again, and you will be told that "autoremove" can get rid of
lots of useless packages.
4. Use apt-get autoremove.

Current results:
If you reboot the computer, it won't boot into a GUI again (it will tell
you that the system is broken and that you should contact your system
administrator).

Expected results:
Not break anything? (Or don't suggest autoremove in the first place)
