Martin,
Thanks for the suggestion. After I unmarkedauto gnome, apt still wanted
to remove gnome, i.e. no change. I notice here that gnome is listed as
dependent upon libreoffice-calc: https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/gnome

Gnome doesn't depend on libreoffice.
What's happening here is that the task-gnome-desktop metapackage
depends on libreoffice (since the maintainers of that metapackage
think that it's reasonable to do so). Gnome was installed because the
task-desktop-gnome metapackage was installed; when task-desktop-gnome
goes away, anything it depends on which is marked as automatically
installed, and which nothing else depends on, will also be marked for
removal.
Try:
aptitude unmarkauto gnome
and see if apt stops wanting to remove gnome.
