This is your fundamental problem here. Do you know what the "gnome"
package actually contains?
hobbit:~$ apt-cache show gnome
Package: gnome
Source: meta-gnome3
Version: 1:43+1
Installed-Size: 14

Installed size is 14. I'm pretty sure that's kilobytes.
"gnome" is a meta-package. Its purpose is to depend on a whole bunch
of other packages. That's all. It doesn't actually do anything by
itself.
Removing "gnome" will not remove any functionality, because "gnome" does
not *have* any functionality.
As long as you don't do an "apt-get autoremove" afterward, nothing else
will be deleted, other than what apt-get told you it was going to delete.
.
autoremove is the first command of my update script. Designed to get rid
of old kernels.
But that still doesn't answer the question, How much longer till trixie
is official? I even put a ? mark on it.
