[Bug 1171978] [NEW] autoremove uninstalled necessary KDE packages

[Máté Eckl]

Public bug reported:

I installed "kde-full" a few days ago to try that environment. Being
logged in to a KDE workspace, today I uninstalled eclipse-jdt by using
the command "sudo apt-get remove --purge elcipse-jdt", and it suggested
to run "apt-get autoremove" to get rid of unnecessary pacages. I ran the
command and it removed all my KDE packages except those which were in
use (kde network manager, kde window manager etc.). I can still use the
menu but I don't have any desktop functions and kde applications
available.
