That will destroy any GUI you have installed, so only a command-line purist would say that's good. Here is why you now have your desktop environment autoremovable: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=104157
No doubt you removed some package that the XFCE desktop metapackage depended on; can you remember what that was?

Gotta say that i usually just let apt-get remove whatever it wants to remove and just reinstall it again, this time without metapackages.
If i read: "Type: 'Yes, do as i say !' "; i tend to hesitate .
Not saying i would tell anyone else to follow that, i admit, rather raw approach. Just chat.
Aptitude is a beautiful thing, if you like ncurses style, I do. Otherwise synaptic and gdebi accomplish anything needed. Synaptic can show the dependents, the depends, orphans, and can be extended in ways nobody pays attention to. Anymore, I do it all in synaptic. I doubt I will ever type apt autoremove or upgrade in a terminal ever again. It's simply not necessary .
