Kexi shares increasingly more and more facilities with other KOffice
applications. Therefore common libraries are needed, called usually
something like kofficelibs.
Kexi if properly packaged by distro, can be installed separately. Only
user can decide to e.g. install KWord in addition.

I encourage you to talk to your distribution makers, we highly depend
on motivated, active users.

In any case please consider updating
http://userbase.kde.org/KOffice/Download if you have something to add
- you will save our (and other users) time. Thanks!
