The question is why you need the HWE stack. If it is for the xserver you 
will obviously need the xserver packages and I can't help you any 
further. But if you only need the newer kernel you can install the 
linux-generic-lts-raring package without the the xserver and libgl1 
packages. That does work without removing the KDE packages from the 
backports ppa.
