Yes, I know what meta-package is for, but deleting it should not make all
it dependencies auto removable.

"This is a metapackage to ease upgrades, installations, and provide a
consistent upgrade path from previous versions. *It can safely be removed
with no ill effects*."

Well, making all dependencies auto removable is an ill effect. Next time i
use apt-get autoremove i will loose all packages, that comes with
xfce4-goodies.
