Thanks L_V and the person who pm'd me. That worked perfectly. It got rid of the vlc stuff and a bit more.

I must say it is really weird that even with "--no-install-recommends " option, kate still depends on phonon4qt5-backend-vlc.
It should not.....
The fact is that default phonon4qt5 dependency is phonon4qt5-backend-vlc.

KDE requires phonon, and phonon requires a backend. The vlc one just happens to be the default. You can also use the gstreamer backend if you want one that works without the vlc libraries.

Most users don't care about the few MB that the vlc version requires, being that drives are yuge these days.

There is a tremendous difference between installing KDE, and kate which is a qt5 text editor.
I've never seen anyone trying to play an audio file with a text editor.

What is strange (although logical), I don't find any kate dependency which requires phonon4qt5.
Did somebody find it ?

EDIT:
I've checked all dependencies with a script: no phonon4qt5 found anywhere.
The answer is may be OP "Using a fresh install of debian testing".
To be clarified on a "stable" environment.
