<div>As discuccsed in Plasma meeting and just now with KDE
gear release spods, Plasma would like to take over
releases of print-manager and wacomtablet. This means
renumbering the tars from e.g. 23.08 to 5.80.0.</div>

<div>Isn't this going to cause distributions all sorts of pain
as package managers are going to assume 23.08 > 5.80 and
refuse to update?</div>

<p>The 23.08 would be upgraded to 1:5.80.x.<br>
