I wonder where the insane dependencies are. IIRC, I installed the "kde"
metapackage, which pulled in kvim and the kitchen sink. I can't remove kvim
without some trouble.
->apt-get remove kvim
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
kde kdeaddons kvim vimpart
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 4 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives.

I did get rid of it once through some trickery, but it came back as a side
effect of some subsequent action (probably an update), and I decided to leave
it alone.
I don't really remember all of this very clearly, but I seem to recall I had
to hand edit one of apt's files in var to get rid of this thing without
taking all of KDE with it. It got quite ugly.
