Install apt-rdepends. Then the following script should write a list of
packages to remove in /tmp/remove. Check if it is what you want and then
remove the packages using
 xargs -a /tmp/remove apt-get --purge remove


,----[ remove-kubuntu.sh ]
| #!/bin/sh
| 
| 
| to_remove="kubuntu-desktop"
| except="ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-base"
| 
| f_remove="/tmp/remove"
| f_except="/tmp/except"
| f_result=/tmp/result
| 
| rm "$f_remove" "$f_except" "$f_result"
| 
| echo "-Getting dependecies for $to_remove..."
| apt-rdepends "$to_remove" | grep '^[^ ]' > "$f_remove"
| 
| 
| for i in $except; do
|  echo "+Getting dependecies for $i.." 
|  apt-rdepends "$i" | grep '^[^ ]' >> "$f_except"
| done
| 
| grep -F -v -f "$f_except" "$f_remove" >> "$f_result"
