Exactly.  
apt-get install kde complains that koffice is needed, which complains that 
kivio is needed, which complains that python-base is needed but isn't 
avialable.  Technically I guess it isn't kde which is broken - it's kivio.  I
have python1.5 installed and python-base no longer exists, so I suspect that
forcing the install of kivio would work but I haven't tried it yet.
