Comment 7 for bug 655079

No.

I just upgraded my machine to 10.10 beta and then installed the kubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-netbook packages to give them a try.

But I've set my system (synaptic) to not treat recommendations as dependencies, since too many ubuntu packages do recommend to many unnecessary or annoying packages.

plasma-widgets-addons is just in the recommendations list of kubuntu-desktop, so it was not pulled in automatically.

If it is such important that it causes plenty of error messages if missing then it should either be in the dependencies, or kubuntu should not open these widgets by default if absent.
