From synaptic package manager:
"This package depends on all of the packages in the Ubuntu desktop system. It is also used to help ensure proper upgrades, so it is recommended that it not be removed."

But if you really want to remove some packages that depends on this you can do like i do, remove this package too. It won't affect normal actions.
