You can not add a new dependency for KDE 4.4 the day before the release without testing. I consider it a new feature which is not allowed since ages. for KDE 4.5 I've planned to add it to the release schedule explicitly to make it even more clear. It is too late in the cycle for 4.4 to change this dependency. Really. Some packagers can not add a new dependency to their repository in one day and have prepared the KDE 4.4 packaging based on the 4.4 release candidates we have given them. Please don't do this.

+1
Unacceptable imho.

Distro's who have provided RC's to their users are now more or less obliged to run that script. Virtuoso was made a hard dependency (at least for anyone compiling kdepim) so all svn users also need to update.
