Oh, and what Martin actually got confused by is a failure of processes on the 
KDE end: The Bugzilla entry for the new (pre)release should be created no 
later than the first "try" of tarballs. How else are we, the packagers, 
supposed to report bugs we find in the tarballs, if they're not of release-
blocking importance? When you create the tarballs, the component should 
already be in place.
