And I never assumed for one second that building the packages was easy. I know from the small experience that I have building the few packages that I do that it can be quite the pain. It turns out, that the qt 4.7 beta releases fixed some nagging issues regarding the startup of the Kontact Akonadi combo. Finally, I do not get bugged about not finding resources. The problem fixes issues for the 4.4.x series as well as the 4.5 pre-release issue. Normally a new release gets pushed to unstable (ie 4.4) before moving on to testing etc. But, because unstable was otherwise occupied by 4.4.85, there was not chance for this to happen. Having a development branch would allow this kinda conflict to be resolved. And also allow a more selective push of compenents from development to unstable as favorable results come in such as the 4.7 fix of kdepim.
