Search for 'task' debs. It's a deb which consists of nothing but
dependencies to snag other debs for you. Debs aren't typically rolled
up in large packages, they're specified via dependencies.

I'm not sure Potato has the debs in the main distro, I believe their in
third-party sites.
In general, if you want some program foo, and don't know what package
it's in:
$ apt-cache search foo
For kde, you'll want kdebase, and likely kdegames, kdegraphics,
kdeutils, kdebase-crypto, kdebase-doc. Install other packages as
needed. That's the Debian way.
Peace.
