Remove these two packages:
soprano-backend-virtuoso virtuoso-server. That doesn't completely "remove"
nepomuk, it just makes it completely non-functional. There's still the UI to
switch it on, although it won't work since you ripped the storage mechanism
out. Where possible, the UI will just not offer functionality that requires
Nepomuk.

BTW, you seem to be assuming that all files need to be indexed by
Nepomuk, that's not the case. You can disable file indexing altogether (and
still keep Nepomuk's functionality for example for finding contacts), or
specify which files should be indexed in a pretty fine-grained manner.

If
you've got fundamental or religious problems with a desktop indexer, you're
likely not interested in this, but for those who don't, it actually works
pretty well.
