Ubuntu-desktop is just a "meta-package" -- a
list of other packages.
It's perfectly safe to remove it. You may want to reinstall
it,
however, when upgrading to the next major release of ubuntu,
since the
package is used to keep track of all the
"default" applications on a
standard install.

I would just reinstall ubuntu-desktop just before upgrading
to Edgy,
whenever that comes out. So, yes, say uninstalling
ubuntu-desktop is
fine for now.
