SUMMARY

You integrated emoji-picker ( https://phabricator.kde.org/D24454 ) but there is no way to remove it. Why this thing is a mandatory and not optional package? I can uninstall/remove other package but not this. Make this optional package so I can remove this attack surface!

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Debian 13 with KDE Plasma selected.
2. `dpkg --list|grep emoji`

OBSERVED RESULT

Identify like plasma-emoji so I can apt-purge it.

EXPECTED RESULT

No package at all so I cant delete it!

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma

The emoji picker is part of plasma-desktop, which is typically not split into separate distro packages, and I don't see why one would do that.
