	As long as the renaming is atomic then yes. Remember the plasma-
mobile/plasma-device renaming? It is still half made and causes inconsistency. 
Is it possible to rename a repo without recreating it? I can use that in 
another project if it is simple.

	Is there are need for that repo now? Shouldn't its contents be part of 
plasma-mobile-config and plasma-contour-config deleted?

	If you remove the configuration from the startactive repo add a 
readme.txt indicating where to look for the configuration files. More and more 
people are trying to build Plasma Active packages by theirselves and having 
software in one repo/package and their configuration in other repo/package 
make things a bit more complicated to get up and running. Sometimes you think 
the software is not working but it just lacks the configuration because 
nowhere in the repo indicates how to configure them properly.

	Why the binary suffix? I know the database is a binary file, but what 
adds to the fact the package contains the skeleton of an user account?
