So the kate.git package will "conflict" with the kdelibs one as both will 
provide ktexteditor? Well, i guess you can have some smart cmake hackery to 
fix this issue (though i'm really oposed to duplicate code i won't block the 
transition because of that)

Ok, misunderstanding from my side then, having kate.git inside extragear-
devtools or maybe kde-runtime (since it provides kwrite and katepart that for 
me are "basics" especially katepart) totally works for me (and my l10n concern 
is vanished)
