This will definitely be added in the next version.  And the instructions to
purge should probably be removed--it's obviously wrong to purge essential
packages.  We should only do this for packages which are removed but not
purged.

They probably lack an LSB header to specify their dependencies?  It would be
good to know if they are truly problematic.  If you still have the files, if
you could attach a copy here that would be great.
