This is how meta packages work. Note that no other real packages removed, only meta
packages: 'kde' and 'kdeaddons'. Also, if aptitude will suggest to remove some other
package(s) in future, you can do 'aptitude unmarkauto <packages>' to tell the apt that
some packages is really needed by you and should not be removed without your explicit
instructions.
