I, for one, don't know what plans Stephan is referring to. The only reason I 
see for having separate releases was for those folks still running KDE 3.1 
and I'd bet that the dependencies of the packages can be constructed so that 
when somebody upgrades to KDE 3.2 from 3.1 and they have Kopete installed 
that the extra package they had to install for Kopete could be removed.
