This is exactly my question. The backlog of kde-scm-interest@ seems to 
indicate that there are technical reasons (i.e. the inner workings of Git) 
speaking against that.

openSUSE actually builds the kdegames source tree once and then divides the 
installed file tree into several packages. So for them, splitting the module 
would (IMHO) actually make things more complicated because one build process 
becomes 40 build processes, each with its own spec file.
