Bug Description

For some strange reason, kubuntu-desktop does not have any dependencies in current karmic.
The easiest way to verify (without even having ubuntu installed) is to go to packages.ubuntu.com
and look for kubuntu-desktop. Then look for e.g., ubuntu-desktop. The difference should be obvious :)

I extracted the deb from the 1.131 version of kubuntu-desktop and indeed there are no dependencies
in its control file.

I 'm not sure how important kubuntu-desktop is, but a metapackage with no dependencies is a
bit worthless :)
