While the experience with the Plasma desktop is pretty good, the same cannot be said for some KDE applications. To improve the situation, at least for me, in different occasions I had to: - manually install only the required KDE applications in a minimal Debian setup; - or manually remove all the unwanted KDE applications in the default KDE installation (and break meta-packages).There are metapackages of finer granularity available like kde-standard, kdegraphics, kdemultimedia.
I'm looking at it from the eyes of an average computer user, what they expect and what to do if something is not there that they expect(synaptic), fixing users problems. kde-plasma-desktop covers most, no PIM, that is a personal choice, like you say,install kde-standard if you want PIM, the average user don't even know how to use a keyboard like we do, less a personal information manager. They want to play dvd's, cd's, watch youtube, play internet games and do Facebook, but with a lot of them even Facebook is over their head. "Point-N-Click or Tap" is all they want to do. The average user is not being creative or productive while using the computer nor on this list.
