According to the current wiki page these days the kde-meta has been replaced
with plasma-meta. This is how I have configured plasma-meta:
Installed versions: 5.15.5(5)(12:58:00 14/06/19)(bluetooth browser-
integration crypt desktop-portal display-manager elogind handbook legacy-
systray pam pm-utils sddm wallpapers -consolekit -discover -grub -gtk -
networkmanager -plymouth -pulseaudio -sdk -systemd)
BUT ... I am thinking of uninstalling it, deplclean-ing my world and
installing kde-plasma/plasma-desktop which is the slim version, while keeping
some select kde-meta packages I need/want.

I have this installed too.

I think the kdebase-meta was meant to be a transitional package from KDE4 to
plasma/KDE5. I suspect this has been superseded by kde-plasma/plasma-meta,
but I'm not sure. In any case, I do not have this installed.

No games for me, thanks.

I have these two installed, plus:

Sadly I'm not there yet. I've got to figure out how to get back my Suspend to
Ram, Hibernate, Reboot, and Shutdown buttons, without re-importing
NetworkManager, or at least without having it being started by powerdevil.
