While this is true, it is also the case that it's extremely difficult for
packagers to follow all the changes that happen inside a large piece of code
like Calligra over the time.
To help them, we could separate our libraries into libs1/, libs2/, etc. This
is not beautiful for sure but it would help achieve our goal of having less
monolithic libraries.
