That's not true.
As I don't use them, I always have to remove them by hand after an
upgrade, as there are intricate dependencies that requires them to be
installed (as they are standard, there's no reason not to depend on
them!).
I got tired and tired of that.
It is far and far more easy to select and install a package forever,
than to deselect and uninstall a package (in this case a full bunch of
packages) and don't see them reappear.
Therefore I second Robert's request.
