Well, apparently, if you do a 

apt-get purge poxml

Debian wants to remove all of KDE while it's at it.

(ain't interlocking dependencies between packages a glorious thing? :-)

Specifically, all of these packages:

amor ark artsbuilder cervisia eyesapplet kaboodle kaddressbook kalarm
kalarmd kandy kaphorism kappfinder karbon karm kate kbabel kbugbuster
kcalc kcharselect kchart kcmlinuz kcoloredit kcontrol kcron kdat kdcop

kworldclock kwuftpd kxkb kxmlrpc libkcal2 libkdenetwork2 libkgantt0
libkonq4 libkregexpeditor lisa noatun poxml secpolicy
          
poxml - "This is a collection of tools that facilitate translating DocBook
XML files using gettext message files (PO-files)." Never gonna be useful to
me, especially on a mailserver on a DMZ. :-)

So apparently I will be KDE-less, as soon as it finishes upgrading a few
libraries, and purging out the above list. Wonder if I can find a similar
command for GNOME ....?
