I agree (though I will start the umbrello review, examining all issues but
the kdesdk one, which appear to be slogging out here :) ), but if kdesdk
inclused umbrello, even if it does so along with 45 grintwillion other
applications etc, until they either split out umbrello or include
Provides, would not the umbrello package Conflict, and isn't that a No-No?

I'm all for having it sepearate, don't misunderstand, but don't our
efforts depend somewhat on the actions of the kdesdk maintainer?
