Who cares for the meta packages? They contain not files and can be removed
without any problem.
OTOH, the KDE-CVS is not what I would call optimal. Important packages like
kdepim contain packages that many, many users do not care about:
kandy (does mostly not work, this program is mostly a no-op),
kmailcvt (only for users that come from other mail readers
AND THE DESCRIPTION IS STILL WRONG!),
kpilot (only for owners of a personal electronic organizer)
I am more unhappy with packages like kdepim-dev: to install a 55KB package,
you have to pull >>12MB packages. And those are not libs but real apps.
And even worth, program like kpilot MUST be installed to satisfy its
dependencies. Why do I HAVE TO install kpilot, I do not use such a device. It
is a highly specific program and should thus be treated as such.
