Split the kioslaves out of plasma-workspace?

Hi
plasma-workspace currently ships the remote:/, applications:/ and
desktop:/ kioslaves. The remote:/ one is also used by Dolphin, so
currently the dolphin package has an (optional) dependency on
plasma-workspace.

As discussed in [1], they are 'core' kioslaves (and thus doesn't make
sense to move them in kio-extras) but it would be nice to simplify
this situation.
What about a new repo released within the Plasma schedule?

Pro:
- plasma-workspace 5.9 could hard-depend on this new repo (they would
have the same release schedule)
- dolphin would have a much smaller dependency

Cons: ?

Thoughts?

Cheers
Elvis
