I renamed baloo's tar to baloo5 because it contains some libraries
which most distros will want to co-install so I'd expect baloo
(kdelibs4) and baloo (kf5) to exist in distro archives together, for
which they need different names.  kfilemetadata is similar.  milou is
probably a mistake, that won't co-exist.

Would distros prefer upstream to rename the kf5 tars, or is it ok to
tell distros to rename the older kdelibs4 versions?
