OK, I have to admit that I didn't actually try to install k3b on a non-
KDE machine before I posted that "only a few KDE-libs". Actually I only 
checked with "apt-cache depends k3b" and got a rather short list. So now 
I installed xubuntu in virtualbox and indeed there is a huge download 
necessary to install a single application. I have no idea why k3b should 
need nepomuk and so many other things installed. Probably the 
dependencies could be fine tuned a little ...

Anyway, after installing k3b, I also verified that nepomuk is not 
started automatically, so the downside of using k3b on a non-KDE machine 
seems to be only a lot of wasted space on the harddisk.
