Purpose of "buildtools" .so and .la files

Thank you, I will prune them until this is fixed upstream.

Can I simply move these to /usr/lib/kde3 or is there a risk that this 
will break something?

That's definitely on the TODO list, and it should be feasible now that 
kdevelop2 has slipped out of "stable". Trust me, I don't need any 
convincing on this score, maintaining the patch to rename kdevelop to 
kdevelop3 is a PITA :)

While we are being nice to each other, any chance of dropping the 
debian/ directory from source tarballs upstream so that we don't need 
to keep removing and repacking?

Cheers,
Jeremy
