Bug Description
Foiund in: ubuntu-
Sorry if I seem like an idiot, but this doesn't make sense to me.
The output of "apt-cache show ubuntu-xen-desktop" is:
<quote>
Package: ubuntu-xen-desktop
<snip />
Description: Xen software for running on servers.
This package will install a suite of software for running Xen on servers.
.
It is safe to remove this package once installed, the pacakges themself don't
depend on it.
.
This will install the i386 version, xen-tools and xenmann.

To me this seems like a contradiction. Is it for a server or a desktop? If it is for the desktop the description needs to be updated. If it is for a server, I think it is poorly named. Alternatively just rename ubuntu-desktop to ubuntu-server for installing the ubuntu desktop to stop any confusion ;)
I am sure I am not the only idiot out there scratching their head over this one.
