Do as previously suggested and use individual meta packages instead of
the all-encompassing kde-meta, or use a mixture of meta and individual
packages (that is what I do).

If you just want to omit a couple of packages, try package.provided. This
is not what it is meant for, but I have used it to exclude kppp and
kpersonaliser.
