I have a fair amount of KDE4 cruft which I shall have

Something clearly dragged it in, or it piggy-backed on something - for my
money the second is more likely.
It seems that installing Trinity in Squeeze in the default manner
brings in some of KDE4. Not through Depends but through Recommends.
You could consider "apt-get --no-install-recommends install ...".
You can get a idea of what KDE4 components you have installed using
"dpkg -l | grep '4:4.4'". Although not perfect it's quick and
easy.
If you find e.g. kdefoo installed you can ask "aptitude why kdefoo".
If the KDE4 packages are only recommended you can remove them.
