I agree.  In fact,  I'd argue that our policy _requires_ us to do this.
>From http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch2.html:

"2.1.4 The non-free section 

`Non-free' contains packages which are not compliant with the DFSG or
which are encumbered by patents or other legal issues that make their
distribution problematic. "

KDE is currently "encumbered by ... other legal issues" which clearly
(IMO) makes its distribution at this point "problematic".
