We don't really have a better place for libkleo. kdepimlibs is only for 
libraries that had an API review and that have a stable API and ABI, and 
libkleo has neither. KMyMoney is our first external user, so the situation is 
not ideal anymore.

I'd recommend packagers to depend on kdepim on the moment, or manually split 
out libkleo from kdepim. If libkleo changes, then an update of the KMyMoney 
package is needed as well, because of the lack of API/ABI guarantee.

I'd prefer to see it in kdepimlibs as well.
I'd like to hear from Marc Mutz, the maintainer, if he is willing to keep the 
API and ABI stable. Other than that, we need to do an API review, but the 
first point is more important.
The timeframe for all that is too short for KDE 4.4, unfortunately.

The file is incorrect, I've updated it now.
