the current purpose of kubuntu-desktop is to be able to run one command (sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop) to be able to get all of a standard kubuntu install.
What you're suggesting I think is already implemented in kdebase. You dont *have* to have kubuntu-desktop as part of the upgrade, as far as I remember, but having to test every single possible combination of KDE applications installed probably isnt feasible - so we cant guarentee a clean upgrade.
However, the updater is being worked on to try to keep the metapackages, which should help with the issue. |

I think in order for this to get more attention and have the possibility of being implemented, it needs a specification created for it. First check whether the idea is already registered <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+specs>, and if so, contact the specification's drafter about your ideas. Otherwise, you can start writing a spec yourself. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureSpecifications>
Put a link here to a spec involving this issue. Thanks |
