I'm not sure exactly what that means but I just go ahead and install 
them.  I'll bet

apt-get install kdebase

will install most of them.

Every time Ralf upgrades the packages I get kdebase and konsole held 
back and I just do as I said above and usually everything works fine.  I 
am running Ralf's latest right now.

This is probably true and apt-get install seems usually to fix it.
