I'd rather not use synaptic actually but I'll have a look. kpackage
showed the same set of dependencies on metapackages that was the
reason for my question.
I think I have the answer to the question now though. plus now if
something goes wrong, I can blame you guys!

Hi,
If you want to use Synaptic, it will tell you which package would be
removed if you proceed to remove the metapackage. If it makes sense
for you, click on okay and if it wants to remove tons of packages,
then something went wrong in packaging... I thought I'd try purging them the so-called
easy way using kpackage but
when I get set to remove kdegames-trinity, it _looks_ like tde-trinity will
go along it. I know this has to do with 'meta-packages' but I don't
understand the implications.
What I do is, first make sure there are no autoremovable packages. Then
remove the metapackage. Then look at the packages that are now
autoremovable, and mark anything you want to keep as manually installed.
Then autoremove the rest.
Hope it helps!
