What Kevin is expressing is a natural expression of the packager's Occam razor: it's simpler to maintain a package if we keep the binaries as close in packaging to the way upstream ships it. Unless splitting gives enough advantage, e.g. separating out plugins for a program that have additional dependencies. In case of kdegraphics, apart from for some disk space saving (not that great, surely in this day and age), can you argue the case for wanting such split?
