Not quite. I am watching this now since the change to kde5. The main problem
are the dependencies between kde4 and kde5 libs. As kde5 wants to deinstall
many kde4-libs, it will also deinstall all non-kde apps, which rely on kde4-
libs.
This is a bad situation and should be fixed soon.
At the moment I adviced all my friends, not to do any upgrades.
Best
