Bug Description
KSnapshot was rewritten for Qt5. So it's not needed any longer in Xenial. It's redunant now. Also it hasn't stepped up in version with regards to Wily [1].
Please remove from archive/KDE-meta – (possibly create an wrapper to point at the replacement?). Not having looked into the libkipi11- dependencies yet (rdepends?).
The successor is called KDE-Spectacle [2]
It has some pretty new features [3] and fits well into the new KDE-5 Ecosystem.
Also this consideration will help to ease the maintainance of this LTS-release for another 3 years.
Thanks for helping to make Kubuntu better every day.

After aproxx. half year not getting any feasable attn/reply I'm closing this, as beyond interest:
Given the fact that kde-spectactle was in it's childhood when it entered the archive & given the fact ksnapshot doesn't appear in the succesors ot xenial, it doesn't make a lot of sense to keep such a bug-report alive.
