kubuntu-desktop is simply a meta-package that has dependencies on a
number of packages to force their installation.  You probably can't
install it without getting OOo 2.0.2, but I would guess that the others
would go back with little difficulty.  Since I am at work (forced into
the windows desktop world here for now), I can't look at the
dependencies of the other packages.
