To show the changes I would make, I send a mockup here:
libs/ (aspell, boost, bzip2, dbus, expat ...)
tools/ (gdb, Regmon, ..., MinGW, Tortoise, astyle, byacc, cmake ...)
msvc/
     (kdelibs)
     (kdebase)
     kdesupport/ (strigi, soprano, installer, ...)
     ...
mingw/
     (kdelibs)
     (kdebase)
     kdesupport/ (strigi, soprano, installer, ...)
     ...

The debugging section is of no real difference to the other tools like 
the compilers and cmake - you just need them to build yourself.
About kdesupport:
I thought about packaging kdesupport into one package, since the end 
user won't have an idea about why he needs such strange named packages - 
they are not really useful on their own (they do not provide apps). The 
problem about this solution is obviously packaging. The dependencies are 
given about kdelibs, kdesdk, kdepimlibs etc. as well so that isn't of 
any importance since all packages are dependent of some others (at least 
the kde ones).
Or are you thinking of folders with different dependency-levels? like:
mingw/
     kdesupport/(strigi, soprano,...)
     libs/(kdelibs, kdebase, kdesdk, ...)
     apps/(kdeedu, kdegraphics, kdenetwork, ...)

I think it is important though to clean the structure a bit, although we 
haven't yet reached the complexity of cygwin ;-)

greetings - SE

p.s.: Ralf, are you working on the update thing for kdewin-installer?
