I guess "The Ubuntu desktop system" is the ubuntu-desktop package. I'm glad Natty warns before removing that. Obviously the warning should be more strong considering the effect of continuing.

I had thought this sort of thing was caused by APT's dependency calculation going weird, so the same thing would happen whether you used apt-get or a GUI. It may vary by case though. Although it would the the better way, fixing a problem in APT would be more difficult than slapping a stronger warning on Software Center. Either way, something needs fixing. :-)
