How do disable this package?

[Robert Sander]

Binary package hint: virtuoso-opensource

How can we disable this package before rolling out Ubuntu lucid to our users?

It is depended by many others in the KDE installation but generates too much load and needs to much storage space on our systems.

Our users' home directories are stored on NFS and have quotas applied. Test users were already running into quota limitations due to nepomuk generating a huge database in the background.

What is the purpose of this software? Who needs a desktop search by default?
