Comment 2 for bug 83593

i can confirm this. i have an daily updated kubuntu gutsy system and adept removed digikam, kdm, etc etc when i only tried to remove the kde4base-packages. Before I installed these kde4base* packages, kdm did not depend on kde4base-data or something.

I asked on #kubuntu on IRC and "zeke" experienced that adept "took way more out" than just cupsys* when he tried to removed the cupys* packages. Afterwards he couldn't boot because of unwillingly removed packages, and had to reinstall ubuntu.
