-----

In my opinion, because of the optional nature of kdeedu package, it should not depend on kde and kde-amusement during its 
installation of removal.

The issue happens because kde-amusements depends on kdeedu, which in turn kde depends on kde-amusements. That is why to remove 
kdeedu, the system ask confirmation to remove kde as well.

Removing the dependency will help modularizing KDE packages in Debian, which currently looks not.

it is only empty meta packages, so removing them causes no harm.

Genius, I cannot mount the connector over the fan from ICQ NT and from 
Windows, how does it work?

First you neither can insert in the mouse, nor must debug a memory and from 
Outlook 9000 you must overclock the connector to a mouse of a modem.
