Hmm ... plasma-desktop was already installed, dragged in by
plasma-meta. So
no need to reinstall it. Sadly trying to depclean after removing
plasma-meta
will get rid of a lot of packages, something I'm not keen to do:

[snip long list of packages]
I just chose the specific packages I wanted and explicitly emerged
them. You can just add them to your world file (either manually, or
with "emerge --noreplace package" so they won't be depcleaned. I have
lots of kde stuff (37 items from grep kde worldfile) but kdecore-meta
and kdegraphics-meta are the only meta packages in my world file.
