Well this did not work for kipi-plugins.  I've automated the
cvs -> tar + builds now.

Hi Renchi,

I've contacted Paul before starting the pkging.  He's too busy right now
to do it.  When there will be a (pre)release we discuss the topic
again.  Maybe he takes them, or one of the other DD that maintains a
app using kipi-plugins? Or I do the ITP, or maybe a kipi team with 
an uploader.  Well see ...

Mhmm, I'll add a Debian.README with something like above paragraph.

Getting 'my' work into cvs is one way to prevent redundancies.
If the final DD throws away my work or picks up where I stoped
with digikam* like Paul did, I don't care as long are there is a
pkg available ;)
