tasksel's task-kde-desktop seems to be outdated

[Maximiliano Curia]

Hi!

Thanks for all the feedback given. I'm replying to myself to send a sort of 
summary of what currently seems to be the consensus.

kde task
 - Recommends k3b
 - Recommends dragonplayer
 - Recommends apper
 kdesudo -> unclear

Personally, I would prefer to drop kdesudo from the kde task, as this seems to 
be a deprecated functionality nowadays, and, in fact, most kde/qt apps can't 
be used as root. The replacement could be:
 sudo --preserve-env=DISPLAY,XAUTHORITY <command>
to launch a command as root, or:
 SUDO_EDITOR=kate sudoedit <file>
to edit a file.

For the meta-kde packages:

kde-full
 + Depends k3b (was recommends of the kde task)
 + Recommends krita
 + Recommends apper (was recommends of the kde task)

kde-standard
 - Suggests skanlite
 - Depends dragonplayer
 + Recommends skanlite
 + Recommends vlc | smplayer | dragonplayer
 + Recommends plasma-discover

kdeaccessibility
 - Depends jovie (no longer needed, see qtspeech)
 - Depends kaccessible (ditto)
 + Depends qtspeech5-speechd-plugin | qtspeech5-flite-plugin

I'm don't know if qtspeech is going to be a dependency of the new kmouth (kf5 
based).

Just an observation, orca is also included in the tasksel kde package, so it 
would be nice to have the same default speech synthesizer backend, which I 
think it's speechd for orca.

Happy hacking,
