Judging from giving support on IRC this seems like a good idea. At least in 
the #kubuntu channel, we get questions like this. Right now one common answer 
is: remove one of the core libraries (like libqt3-mt for KDE) and every 
dependency that is broken by this. But that is probably not exactly the most 
elegant way to go. A conflicting metapackage seems like a good answer.

No high priority though...
