it should be of no concern to the installer. what it does is an implementation 
detail. it may even change between major versions, as it already has 
(admittedly in a backwards-compatible manner) between 4.x and 5.x due to the 
deprecation of ksycoca4. that is why plasmapkg is provided in the first place.

why do you need to know this? can AppStream not call external tools to do the 
installation?
