kde-4.3, PolicyKit-kde packaging

[Rex Dieter]

Looks like PolicyKit-kde bits are in kdebase-workspace now.

Any thoughts or opinions on whether to roll this into kdebase-workspace 
proper (with Obsoletes/Provides), or to continue to make it as a 
separate (sub)package?

I did the former as a first try in kdebase-workspace-4.2.85-1 packaging.

Maybe if you can outline the advantages and disadvantages as you see them.

Off the top of my head:

1. included in kdebase-workspace
Simpler (all in one place)
Only relevant for a kde desktop anyway
Avoids the potential confusion of PolicyKit-kde vs PolicyKit-gnome

2. PolKit-kde subpkg
Less pkg rename churn
more modular packaging (though it would remain Require'd by 
kdebase-workspace at least)

Which is required by KDE for a working Desktop? So....

Make your life simple... huh?

One package to rule them all (place evil laugh here) :)
