they still depend on libraries from KDE to work on.  So they would still
need a whole series of KDE packages to run inside Gnome, even if kde
isn't actually "installed".

Some people want a Gnome-only machine, some people want a KDE-only
machine, and some people don't mind mixing both up.   Obviously you are
free to do the later with a few mouse clicks from synaptic;

But by default you start with the 1st or 2nd option which give you
smaller installations.
