Be a little but careful here. demudi-midi and demudi-soundapps are so
called tasks, IIR, they are itself empty, but depend on other
packages to fulfill a task like "midi software in general". So I think
it might be okay to remove them (try "apt-get -s remove hotplug"
first), but YMMV. 

I don't quite see why you *want* to remove hotplug. I see a lot of
harmless warning messages on startup. That's perfectly normal on
Linux. 

ciao
