I haven't done this for a while, but I remember when I had kubuntu-desktop
installed, "aptitude install kde" still wanted to install about 100MB or
so of extra stuff.

It would be interesting to compare, for example, Slackware's KDE with
kubuntu-desktop. As I understand it, Slackware prides itself on sticking
closely to upstream versions of everything. I suspect that there is indeed
a difference, and that the full KDE has more.

Of course, it's not difficult to install the extra bits if you want them.
