Actually, they often get fixed by a KDE contributor /exactly/ because they're 
an official part of KDE. For example, I've fixed quite some kiconedit and 
kbattleship bugs in the past, and I don't have any relation to the apps.
And kdegames in particular often gets quite a bit of bugfixing by people who 
are not maintainers.

Eh, and so what? Disk space is cheap. The only thing that's a downside is 
security updates, but there are ways of addressing that that are not 
workarounds.

Actually, kruler is quite useful for things like style development, khtml 
development, etc.. And I'd never /know/ such a thing existed if it didn't 
ship with kdegraphics, and many distributions would probably say the same 
thing you did and not ship it. Similarly, kcolorchooser is also often of 
those little things that people might not look for, but which are extremely 
useful in some circumstances. (I think kiconedit can probably go away since 
kolourpaint is more powerful now, I think, but I think someone considered 
doing something to it)

In any way, I am going quite against the grain here when I say that I think 
what you're suggesting (and what packages are doing) is a grave mistake. I 
believe the current KDE package structure is a big strength, as it makes it 
easy to have a desktop that has all the functionality a person will likely 
ever need (and yes, I think k3b ought to be in kdemultimedia), so the people 
can /work/ and not play update-the-package or find-the-app.
