It's like this:
digikam depends on kde-runtime, which depends on kdelibs5-plugins, which
depends on katepart, which depends on kate-data.
so if you have kde installed you'll always have kate-data installed even
if kate itself isn't there
** Changed in: kate (Ubuntu)

OK this is weird:
$ sudo apt-get remove kate-data
