I think leonidas-kde-theme should not be required by kde-settings, only by kdebase-workspace. It contains a Plasma wallpaper theme, a KSplash theme and a KDM theme. None of these are useful outside of KDE.
Agreed... or to make things a bit indirect (with slightly easier future maintainability), make a new kde-settings-workspace subpkg Required by kdebase-workspace (like -kdm).
kdebase-workspace currently drags in leonidas-kde-theme directly for the default face icon symlink.
OK, plan: short-term: drop leonidas-kde-theme dep from kde-settings potential long term: make kde-settings-workspace subpkg to encapsulate such theming details. (could do something like this for f12 perhaps).
