Could we consider kdesupport to be a 'kdeextragear, but for libs' 

That is, maintainers make their own releases, on their own schedules, for the 
purposes of packagers to depend upon.  These libs are hosted in CVS in 
kdesupport as a convenience for developers already working in CVS, and 
"kdesupport" should not be released alongside the rest of KDE nor considered 
a dependency?

That's pretty much the situation as it stands, while kdesupport only contains 
taglib (which is getting it's own releases, and is getting packaged on it's 
own by most everyone I know of.)
