This is EXPERIMENTATION/CUSTOMIZATION (> Topic: Rules for posting in this forum).
The Kubuntu is replacing the KDE 3.5 applications with the KDE 4 versions.
The KDE 3.5 applications are maintained by the KDE3.5 Maintainers. They can be installed side by side the KDE 4 applications.
Example - K3b
Here the K3b (1.68/KDE4) seems to work without problems but if there are problems there is an option to install the K3b (1.0.5/KDE3.5) to the Karmic.
The k3b-kde3 can be found from the > PPA for KDE3.5 Maintainers.

Now there is:
Looking what would be happen if:
Nothing bad, the removed packages (kdelibs-data&kdelibs4c2a) are replaced by the "KDE3.5 Maintainers" versions. The kleansweep is an old kde3 package and it is depending: kdelibs-data & kdelibs4c2a.
Installing the k3b-kde3. The K3b-kde3 is not automatically added to the K-Menu but the executable is /opt/kde3/bin/k3b.
Disabling the PPA for KDE3.5 Maintainers !!
The new and the old k3b can live in the same system.
Testing with a CD-RW, erasing OK, burning CD OK. The K3b-kde3 seems to work with the Kubuntu 9.10 (RC)
