I know little technical details about the Debian package manager,
from an end user's perspective, the package manager should give the user
the choise not to uninstall a wanted package,
if the user don't give a choise, the package manager can perform the
default action to remove the package. 
I think this method is a better default behavior for the package manager 
for some similar packages.
