So, libcupsimage2 etc. are not going to be installed.

Any hints are appreciated. I must be doing something very wrong. -.- Thanks.
I have the same situation.  I downloaded each of the CUPS packages
manually and installed them with a "--force-depends" flag.  CUPS works
now, but "apt" still wants to remove KDE every time I try an update.
I don't think either of us are doing anything wrong, but the problem
would seem to be a packaging error in CUPS.  Probably one of the
packages is missing an apropos "Provides" line.  For now, I will see
if there is a CUPS package update which fixes this problem.
I found that putting the CUPS -dev pkg on hold is enough to keep APT 
from trying to remove most of KDE.
