Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Since you have reported this bug, I have committed several changes and fixes .

Could you please test with the latest release (0.5.1) or with the br branch linked above if this issue is still reproducable for you?

The fixes I have added should prevent packages from being removed when they are still needed.

However, as you mentioned the packages ubuntu-desktop, firefox-gnome-support and ubufox and *none* of them are handled by language-selector, my guess is that some other application or a system upgrade must have marked them as to be removed. Language-selector, when calling synaptic to remove obsolete translation packages, then just executed that task.

With 0.5.1, no package was removed.
I can confirm this bug is NOT reproducible now.
