Yes, of a sort. I still get lots of KDE packages updated only because of
small changes in one component, although this is mitigated somewhat by
my removing most of KDE by hand.
If I understand the updating process correctly, this is caused by the
fact that KDE comes in a big fat source package, and a single update
requires re-compiling everything else. So it's not something that can be
solved at update (aptitude) level. AFAIK the only fix would be splitting
the big KDE source package in several smaller source packages, a bit
like gnome does. I'm not sure how realistic that is.
