It's a pitty to say, but on squeze not all kde4 packages carry a *kde4* in 
their name. e.g.:
	plasma-*
	libnepomuk*
	shared-desktop-ontologies
	strigi-*
by some unknown reason even installation of trinity can cause some kde4 
packages to be reinstalled. Anyway, getting rid of that stuff is easy and 
once you've done it it stays away :-)
