Hmm....apt-get dist-upgrade gets to the same conclusion:
blackbox:~# apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... The following packages were automatically installed and
are no longer required:
libkwineffects1abi5 libkwinglutils1abi2
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
kde-full kde-plasma-desktop kde-plasma-netbook kde-standard kde-window-
manager kde-workspace libsmokekdeui4-3 libsmokekfile3 libsmokekhtml3

libsmokeknewstuff2-3 libsmokeknewstuff3-3 libsmokekparts3 libsmokektexteditor3
libsmokekutils3 libsmokeplasma3 plasma-scriptengine-ruby

The following packages have been kept back:

The following packages will be upgraded:
