This bug was fixed in the package packagekit - 1.3.5-1ubuntu1
---------------
packagekit (1.3.5-1ubuntu1) stonking; urgency=medium
* d/p: Honour allow_deps=false when removing packages.
The PackageKit API allows restricting a RemovePackages transaction to
prevent removing any dependent packages, but the APT backend was not
honouring it.
This could have lead to the accidental removal of system packages when
trying to uninstall applications from simple PackageKit frontends.
