[Bug 459001] [NEW] K3b package requires the whole KDE 4 workspace

[Gioele Barabucci]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: k3b

The K3b package (version 1.68.0~alpha3-0ubuntu1) installs (with a
Required dep) the whole KDE 4 workspace, not only the pieces of
workspace it really needs to have installed in order to work correctly.
This means that a K3b installation brings in at least 90 MiB of files.

For example the K3b package ends up installing unneeded applications
like kmenuedit, plasma-desktop, two dozen plasma widget, kwrited,
kfontinst, solid-bluetooth and some screensavers.

Could the K3b package be changed to suggest additional KDE workspace
applications with a Suggest dep instead of a Required dep?
