From a packagers point of view, what is the current estimation on these 
'alpha' software packages being released?

Some packagers will not distribute alpha software at all, and I think 
that unless the situation is resolved before kdepim 3.3 is released, 
you'll simply find they don't distribute kdepim 3.3 at all. That would, 
in my opinion, make a mockery out of the whole kdepim 3.3 release.

Of course, if gpgme 0.4.4 (et al) are aall released before kdepim 3.3, 
the issue is moot.

Regards,

Andy
