If it just said "KDE" that wouldn't be as big a deal as it appeared.
It's a metapackage.

It is there solely to depend on other packages (like most of KDE).  It
wouldn't wipe out your KDE install. :-)  In fact the "kubuntu-desktop"
package doesn't depend on it either (or vice versa).

Open a terminal and type

		 $ apt-cache show kde

And then

		 $ apt-cache show kubuntu-desktop

You'll see what I mean.
