Hi,

Since powedevil and libkscreen are in extragear, is it expected to use
the same versions as plasma stuff? It's not clear to me the full list of
packages which fall under the Plasma Next umbrella.

Also do we need a milou package? I think it's required by
plasma-workspace (see lookandfeel/contents/runcommand/RunCommand.qml).

Moving forward, are there plans to split kde-baseapps or is that
remaining unchanged?

Best regards,
Michael
