Now, I'm trying to undo this, using

Re: apt-get auto-remove doesn't remove all auto installed pk
The apt-get autoremove command is not used to uninstall specific packages. If you want to uninstall the task-kde-desktop package, the proper sub-command to use would be "remove" instead of "autoremove":
The autoremove option is used to remove all orphaned packages not being used. (I'm not actually sure what that even means, so I have never tried to use it.)
