We should release together imo. PHP plugin is mature enough and shouldn't eat 
any children. Not sure about pets though.

Anyways, I'm for merging the PHP & PHP-Docs plugins and than releasing 
kdevelop-plugins as one, i.e. PHP & Upload (Niko: will you manage to get 
XDebug et alii into extragear by that time?).

Imo packagers will create separate packages for each plugin if required.

We do and there should be Messages.sh. That was one thing that got added in 
the review period before we moved to extragear.
