That's one of my pet peeves. Most likely it says it wants to remove 
"x-window-system" , right? Well an apt-cache show x-window-system gives:

  This metapackage provides substantially all the components of the X Window
  System as developed by the XFree86 Project, as well as a set of 
historically
  popular accessory programs.

Key thing here is that its a metapackage. You can remove it safely as it 
doesn't provide any functions, its only purpose is to depend on a set of 
packages to make an easy way to install them.

Of course, if it wants to remove anything else that's a different story.
