aspcud is not suitable as a default solver. It is far too slow and
ignores some aspects people are accustomed to, like a Depends: a | b
installing a whenever possible. Same for all other CUDF solvers.

Something strange is going on there. If I do the same on my system
which has its own GNOME meta packages currently, I get:
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
gnome-packagekit-data
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it.
The following extra packages will be installed:
acpi-fakekey acpi-support acpi-support-base acpid cgmanager ethtool
libcgmanager0 libck-connector0 libnih-dbus1 libnih1
libpam-ck-connector
pm-utils systemd-shim
Suggested packages:
radeontool consolekit
The following packages will be REMOVED:
gnome-packagekit gnome-packagekit-session gnome-session-flashback systemd-sysv
The following NEW packages will be installed:
acpi-fakekey acpi-support acpi-support-base acpid cgmanager ethtool
libcgmanager0 libck-connector0 libnih-dbus1 libnih1
libpam-ck-connector
pm-utils systemd-shim sysvinit-core
0 upgraded, 14 newly installed, 4 to remove and 102 not upgraded.
Although none of gnome-packagekit gnome-packagekit-session
gnome-session-flashback need to be removed. I thus believe gnome gets
removed because it depends on gnome-packagekit which APT somehow
thinks it has to remove.
