I'm not sure what went wrong, but four KDE packages (kdelibs,
kdelibs-devel, kdebase, and koffice) seem to have survived in the
lists, dropping the 850MB savings down to 650MB and making it
substantially less possible for people to upgrade to 9.2 on machines
with 4GB disks.  I'm going to remove them in the next patch release.

(No other RPMs appear to depend on them.)
