Yep, that's my thinking :)

Something else that  just came up---plasmapkg is in kdebase/workspace as well. 
Would it make sense to bump that one over too? I ask because that seems to be 
"the way" to install scripted plasmoids, and a scriptengine w/out means of 
installation is a bit weird. Especially as GHNS requires a command-line 
program to use to install (otherwise given the scriptfile i could call 
Plasma::Package manually)

Another thing about plasmapkg: it would be nice if we could set the 
ServicePrefix from the commandline, so we can pass it from a GHNS .knsrc. 
Otherwise i don't see how to tell plasmapkg to install my amarok applet 
properly.
