Bug Description
(as requested by Scott Kitterman in #kubuntu-devel)
Using either the 20090420.1 alternate or 20090421.2 dvd (any frontend) image activates pulseaudio by default. This behavior differs from the 20090420.1 desktop image, where pulseaudio is not installed or activated by default.
Upon further investigation, I've found that distribution upgrades of Kubuntu from hardy or intrepid will mimic the behavior of the 20090420.1 alternate or 20090421.2 dvd image, i.e., pulseaudio is activated by default.
In summary, users:
1) of the alternate or dvd images,
2) dist-upgrading from hardy or intrepid
will have pulseaudio activated by default. This behavior is likely undesirable.
A workaround is to use KPackageKit/
This behavior should be noted in the release notes for Kubuntu Jaunty.

Please instruct to purge pulseaudio. We've previously seen examples where a removed (but not purged) pulseaudio has caused problems, solved simply by purging.
