If you are not using the follow, you need to remove them to not need
mysql I suppose:
akonadi-server
kaddressbook
kaddressbook-plugins
karm
kdepim-kfile-plugins
kdepim-kio-plugins
kitchensync
korn
ksync
libkdepim1a

In addition, you may have installed a meta-package that pulls in a whole
bunch of packages automatically. Removing that meta package should not
be a problem in most circumstances. To be safe, you may use the "-s"
flag with aptitude to see what will happen with the removal without
actually making it happen.
