apt will install Recommends by default - this was changed in Feisty (or even Edgy). I think this is only true for meta packages. The only difference is that you can remove Recommended package without removal of kubuntu-desktop. If you remove kubuntu-desktop, you will not get new packages that may have been added between releases.
