To clarify, internally it would be a branch in ktp-contact-list, released
as a different tarball.

I'd also like to offset the release by at least a week from 0.6.0, it means
we can give kpeople better promo.   Also I'll have a lot more time to help,
once we've got 0.6 out the way.

It should also make it a bit confusing (if a bit more work) for packagers,
we have 0.6 with no dependencies on unstable kpeople or nepomuk-feeders,
and we have a "new project" that does. It's also less confusing for user's
we're not claiming 0.6 may or may not have a feature depending on how it
happened to be built.
