For now you can list dependent packages manually in apt-get install: https://packages.ubuntu.com/resolute/build-essential

But it's clear that Ubuntu will remove coreutils, genuine sudo and other tools from the future versions. It's the direction, it's ideological and thus nor merit nor our feedback will change anything here.

You can use equivs to create a dummy coreutils-from-uutils package, as mentioned in the responses to that report.

It is frustrating that Canonical has no interest in fixing it, though. It makes it hard to take their claims seriously that you can still use GNU coreutils if you want.
