Why is Ubuntu desktop dependent on rdesktop?

This has got to be a the dumbest thing I've seen for a while. Ubuntu has a nice auto-update feature that chimes in when updates are ready to be applied.

 

So I check what needs to be updated and what do I see but rdesktop (an RDP desktop client for Windows NT/2000 terminal server) needs an update for some vulnerability. I don't need it so remove it right?

 

Well if you remove this piece of useless software I have to remove all of the Ubuntu desktop. Why? Does the whole desktop depend on this?
