removed kde but remnants remain

[Dan Jacobson]

I recall I at one point "removed kde from my system", however I still see
# dpkg -l kde\*|grep ^i
ii kdeaddons-doc- 3.1.2-1 KDE add-ons documentation in HTML format
ii kdeartwork-the 3.1.2-2 icon themes released with KDE
ii kdebase-data 3.1.2-1 KDE Base (shared data)
ii kdeedu-data 3.1.2-1 shared data for KDE educational applications
ii kdegames-card- 3.1.2-2 Card decks for KDE games
ii kdelibs3-doc 2.2.2-14 KDE core library documentation
ii kdetoys-doc-ht 3.1.2-1 KDE toys documentation in HTML format

This must be because their cross-dependencies are inadequately
intertwined, so they didn't go away with the rest, and are left
sitting there mostly useless on their own[?], so I must remove them by
hand if I want to really clean things up, eh?

Notice those packages are mostly document related packages, and the rest
are merely data packages so they probably don't depend on anything... So
yes you must remove them individually.

Just asking out of curiosity, but should/could something like this be filed
as a package bug ?? Regardless if they're "mostly document related" or
"merely data packages", they should *not* remain.
