There are two definitions of "pushing to packagers":

(1) Doing a proper release, you can get packages off of ftp.kde.org like 
    normal people do
(2) Pre-packages, put in a shared private area. These are being tested. 
    We share them early on so we can catch more errors on more diverse systems

It seems you're complaining about (2) revealing problems with the packages. 
Well, that is the whole point. If you're not willing to help out with that, 
that is perfectly fine as well, just wait until we announce a (pre-)release.

If you want us to not do (2), that would lead to worse results, not better as 
you or Wulf seem to suggest.
