-----

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.

Please read the documentation on how aptitude works.

For example /usr/share/doc/aptitude/html/en/ch02s02s07.html in the package 
aptitude-doc-en.

It is not a bug, but expected behaviour.
If you disagree, please take it up with aptitude people. See for example
