The kwallet API is only implemented by kwalletd AFAIK. So for this API's
cas, we should provide kwalletd along with it.

The new secret service API, on the other hand, is likely to have several
implementation. In that cas, the daemon should not be systematically
tied-in.

I think that future versions of the kwallet framework will have
configure options, to let packagers/users choose what to install.
