I would be careful trying to remove klipper.  The other files in 
plasma-workspace are very important.

apt-file list plasma-workspace:

plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/gmenudbusmenuproxy
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/kcheckrunning
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/kcminit
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/kcminit_startup
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/kdostartupconfig5
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/klipper
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/krunner
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/ksmserver
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/ksplashqml
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/kstartupconfig5
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/kuiserver5
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/plasma_waitforname
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/plasmashell
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/plasmawindowed
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/startkde
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/systemmonitor
plasma-workspace: /usr/bin/xembedsniproxy

These are just the ones in /usr/bin.  If you try to remove plasma-workspace then 
kde would be gone.

The new klipper seems to have plenty of options.  I use Alt-C -- Open klipper at 
mouse position  a lot (not sure if that is the default).  Makes it very easy to 
see and change what will be pasted.  I run testing here and didn't notice the 
change to the new klipper.  I see the older klipper package was removed back in 
2015 as part of kde-workspace.
