Why is it still so important to have a Qt/GTK-only set of applications installed?

I most definitely use Synaptic on KDE. On Debian based distros you can use "apt-get --no-install-recommends install" to cut out a few non-essential dependencies. I need this to have the software center work right on debian kde.

How is Debian with introducing packagekit as a backend, btw?

Packages for it seem to be hitting Wheezy (testing).

Nice. I wonder what they're gonna do with the KDE version for Wheezy when it goes stable - whether they're gonna stay with the current setup, go with packagekit, or hit a Muon-aptdaemon integration like Kubuntu.

muon's already in wheezy - I just don't know if it's the default package manager. It wasn't a couple months back when I gave wheezy a spin.
