According to #dorset on IRC, we think the easiest way may be to install a lightweight alternative to KDE, like xubuntu-desktop. Switch to that. And then use synaptic to remove the PPA and its packages, removing KDE. Apparently, synaptic will show you installed packages that aren't in repositories. Once that's done, so KDE's gone and the PPA, install the normal kubuntu-desktop. That's the theory, anyway.
