i always build *.deb packages if possible.

not necessary -- your last commit fixed it!

works great so far, some minor issues:

 - UTF-8 in the output file seems to be broken, i get "Erneut ausführen" as 
   run-again link

 - in the configuration dialog for the output, the field to chose a cusdom CSS 
   file is not empty but set to the startup working directory. it says "leave
   empty for default", so i assume it's neither using the default nor any
   other custom file

 - there's still a PHP debugging switch, does that still make sense?

and one other thing:

 - on http://developer.kde.org/~cfeck/portingstatus.html RKWard is listed with 
   the note "application .desktop filenames not yet updated to 'org.kde.'
   schema", is that just referring to
   /usr/share/applications/rkward-open.desktop and
   /usr/share/applications/rkward.desktop ?


OT:
apart from that, my first few days with a KF5 desktop are a bit mixed, but 
mostly positive. the move to the new kwallet was a bit of a headache (you 
should export XML copies *before* you upgrade, just to be able to re-import 
them easily if the migration fails); rekonq, qupzilla and roger router don't 
undertsnad the new kwallet API yet, which is annoying (rendering roger router 
useless). i miss the "watch content of a file" widget which i used to monitor 
syslogs with, and /proc/mdstat, but for that i found a much better alternative 
already (https://github.com/papylhomme/diskmonitor, filed a pull request to 
add debian packaging support). the calendar widget doesn't really do anything, 
but plasma 5.7 is supposed to fix this. kontact crashed a few times at the 
beginning, seems to run rather stable now, akonadi still gives me the creeps 
from time to time. but it's all harmless compared to the nightmare that 
migrating to KDE4 was. overall, the desktop feels more responsive.
