The problem with removing the meta-package is that many packages are bound by that one, and without it become 'orphans'.
This means that next time you install some package the auto-removal function that in apt-get is executed after the installation is completed will wipe them out.

That hasn't happened to me on Fremantle. I haven't tried it on Harmattan though. In the worst case, you can manually install those packages again.

I want to be careful. if possible I don't want to remove any system related packages anymore. I have bad memories about this.

you should never call dist-upgrade on harmattan. use apt-get upgrade instead.

apt-get on Harmattan is not the same as apt-get on Debian; it's a patched version to suit the eccentricities of Harmattan.

For e.g. the priority of packages from Nokia Store, the dependency of all packages on the meta package etc. Unless you remove these dependencies, the removal of meta package will leave you with an empty system as all other packages are uninstalled too.

Search around and you will see the different examples.
