Hi,
What is the reason to keep KDE specific packages, and other desktop
environments as well for that matter, in the standard Ubuntu repos along
with all the other packages? Wouldn't it be better to split them into
their own repos? So that one can easily enable or disable a repo to
either have access to or not accidentally install one from the wrong
desktop environment. Lot's of KDE packages breaks standard Unity visual
elements and functions and can also pull in lots of unwanted
dependencies, it can be hard to clean up and restore the system to a
working state again. It is also hard for inexperienced users to identify
what packages belongs to what environment. Is it possible to separate them?
Regards, Oscar
