   Did you take out the multiverse and universe lists ?,,,These can sometimes 
cause problems until you have the main system upgraded. The other way is to 
try the upgrade and if it takes out a lot of the kde then so be it. You then 
do another update and dist-upgrade. I did do have to do a dpkg-reconfigure -a 
with the first part of the upgrade this seems to be because of udev and 
incompatibilities with the running kernel. Remember your kde settings will be 
preserved in the .kde directory in your home folders so you won't lose any of 
those..So basically if you are not on a limited download then you could do 
the upgrade having it remove a lot, then when you get it back to the terminal 
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop to get most of your kde back...I really 
can't stress enough though you do need to back up...Mistakes can happen.
