I'll try to get to that tomorrow. However, you're now aware of the
problem, and no, the issue is not the same for other metapackages; you
install via a metapackage, you should be able to uninstall via the same
metapackage. The installation/uninstallation issue should be fixed
regardless of whether a separate bug is filed or not.

Wishlist (yes I can file a new wishlist issue on this tomorrow if
necessary):
Can the packages now _please_ be built for Hardy & Karmic? Neither will
install with the lucid packages due to dependency issues.
  Hardy is a supported LTS that will be around for some time. Karmic
will also be around for some time before folks make transitions to
10.04. Continuing to run on 1.1.17 is a security issue. Of course
you'll need to contend with complaints regarding the form filling issues
in the transition from 1.x to 2.x, but that will happen in lucid as
well. I'd vote for updated security vs old form filling methods anyday.
