The KDE people don't appear to be particularly worried about smooth
upgrades from potato, as those packages were unofficial.
As for the rest, some just don't exist any more (e.g. data-dumper,
gcc-doc), whereas others might be of more concern - although I'm not
sure if anything can be done about them at this late stage. The output
of 'apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=1 -u dist-upgrade' would be
helpful, but if you've already upgraded then I suppose that won't be
possible.
