This is really,really,really Frequently Asked Question.
"kde" is a metapackage that depends on ALL of kde, and kdegraphics is
metapackage depending ALL of kde's graphics apps. It may look "scary",
when you run "apt-get remove kappithinkidontneed", and it tells you that
it is removing a package named "kde". However, it does not mean that
your kde desktop will be removed, only that your system no longer has
FULL kde installed.
Install kde-core if you want a more minimal setup, and then install each
kde app you want.
However, you are micromanaging your system, which is foolish. Disk space is cheap,
your _TIME_ spent tuning disk space is expensive, and you might be wasted, if
some day you install a scanner, buy adigital camera, or have kids visiting who just
want to play some game.
