Although the package information states: *** This transitional package takes care of pulling in the new kde-runtime package and can safely be removed after installation. *** True is that some of the packages you have mentioned that were tagged to be removed (e.g., "k3b") are still depending on the old package instead the new one. >> I would open agaisnt the transitional package "kdebase-runtime". > > Ah, that makes the most sense to me, thanks.
