Bug#272140: request to remove kmilo from the list of kde dependencies

You understand that the package 'kdeutils', which is what depends on
kmilo, is just a metapackage, providing none of kde's functionality?  You
can apt-get install kde, apt-get remove kmilo (or just not use it -
disabling it in the control center works fine here, but I don't have
your brand laptop to test on) and not lose any of the other
functionality of kde.  I don't think this needs to be RC, myself.
