speaking with my KDE PIM developer hat on, I think it makes a lot of

actually split the package per-app, so we would have

kdepim-akonadiconsole (I'd actually prefer if this was not installed by
default, so that people would not be tempted to play with it :P)
kdepim-akregator
kdepim-blogilo
kdepim-kaddressbook
kdepim-kjots
kdepim-kleopatra
kdepim-kmail
kdepim-knode
kdepim-knotes
kdepim-kontact
kdepim-korganizer
kdepim-libs (libs shared by multiple PIM apps)
kdepim-common (?) (shared executables, like incidenceeditor-ng, Akonadi
agents, etc)

One suggestion (apologies in advance if I've not understood it
correctly). Why "kdepim-*" naming for applications?

It's a convention to highlight the originating module where the subpkg comes from. We *usually* follow this in split kde packaging, kde-baseapps being a recent exception. I think I'd prefer to follow that here too, but I won't insist on it.

I think we had something like this for kate, okteta etc. which was
sometimes irritating since one had to yum search for "*kate*" to figure
out the package name for installation. Anyway, nowadays, its just kate
and okteta, and I'm liking it.

Indeed, we had kdesdk- prefix for these once, but that was prior to upstream doing split tarballs for us.
