Hello,

I'll extract below the couple of points which sound dangerous to me.

I'm not sure those two are going in the right direction overall. The package 
naming, and the use of macros were meant to keep the opensuse packaging and 
the meego one as close as possible. The aim being to avoid spreading the 
resources thin.

The fact that Plasma Active is currently packaged for both opensuse and meego 
is especially telling on the fact that its a valid goal. It's IMHO worth 
keeping the delta between both package sets as small as possible, and the 
proposed changes deviate from that a lot.

Regards.
