I'd go with changing the dependency level of plasma-scriptengines. I'm of the 
opinion that any googleware (crapware/spyware/bloatware - pick whatever you 
like) should not be automatically installed by the kdebase. Google gadgets are 
not a part of the KDE project, nor they are basic apps that anyone would need, 
like a text editor, a file manager and so on. 

plasma-scriptengines may RECOMMEND Google packages but they should not be 
automatically installed as a part of the kdebase.

I'm not even sure how I ended up with Google packages, I don't remember 
installing any recommended packages at all:

# aptitude why plasma-scriptengines
i   kdebase               Depends    kde-plasma-desktop (>= 5:66)        
i A kde-plasma-desktop    Depends    kdebase-workspace (>= 4:4.4.3)      
i A kdebase-workspace     Depends    kdebase-workspace-bin (>= 4:4.4.5-7)
i A kdebase-workspace-bin Recommends plasma-scriptengines
