Assigned this issue to xubuntu-docs. Let's document the correct way to
handle the installation of the xubuntu-desktop package, and make it easy

the future.

I've added this to the 20.04 development blueprint, so let's revisit and
discuss. If we can't solve the problem with packaging, let's document
the mini.iso installation process so others have an easier time.

There are subtle differences between how the meta package is installed
and how tasks are installed, even if the meta package installs all task
packages.
tasksel effectively runs apt install xubuntu-desktop^, that is, it

Are these tasks up-to-date and maintained by Ubuntu? Who knows. I never
even heard about tasks and tasksel until well after the abysmal
experience of trying to install the xubuntu-desktop package.
When I google "install xubuntu-desktop" this is what I see.

No changes were made to xubuntu-core and xubuntu-desktop yet, so the bug
is obviously not fixed yet. However, the part regarding xfce4-session

Julian, thanks for the detailed comment.
I assume that the only way to somewhat work around this problem is to
change the recommendation orders:
lightdm: recommend lightdm-gtk-greeter | unity-greeter | ...
xfce4-session: recommend light-locker | xscreensaver

xubuntu-desktop depends on lightdm, lightdm-gtk-greeter; so apt will
install lightdm which Recommends unity-greeter | lightdm-greeter |
lightdm-kde-greeter. Hence apt installs unity-greeter. Then it installs
lightdm-gtk-greeter.
