> So in some cases it won't be that it only *appears* that kde is being
> removed since the user doesn't understand how the kde metapackage
> works as the FAQ suggests, it may be that all the kde packages

then aptitude install kde-core (or whatever the name is) and kdepim=20
(that are the most used usually).

that will at least save those.
