I am a packager, and building standalone packages from kde module tarballs is 
not a trivial task (especially if you have both binary packages and a

of you're (like me) an unpaid packager in a rather small team of other unpaid 
packagers.

See my other mail regarding that.

KBugBuster, and it's not news to me.
