Hi, The kde package is a metapackage which depends on all packages that are part of the official KDE release. Kdegames and kde-amusements are such packages. If you do not want the entire KDE release, there is no reason why you should keep the kde metapackage installed. You can instead use kde-core which includes only the most necessary KDE packages.
