Iff anything has to be splitted, why not leave kdebase, and only separate out 
kdedesktop?
Btw, what do kpdf, kghostview, and kmix in there? They have dedicated places 
and should stay there. Note that kdelibs+kdebase is only the minimum 
requirement for those who want/need to run kde apps, but use another de/wm. 
They certainly have their own mixers, pdf/ps viewers.

Real KDE users install everything nonetheless, so they won't have any 
dependency problems.
