I think a tdesymlinks packages would be a good idea. It would include not only startkde->starttde, but also symlinks to every renamed application such as twin, etc. It would both: -enable former KDE3 users to use the old names, just by installing one package -if the renaming is completed, enable new Trinity users to install it in /usr alongside KDE SC 4/5.
+1,
A symlink packages is a simple fix to a lot of potential problems. By putting symlink control in a single package, you also gain control over the symlink issues that users are bound to create them on their own, and can easily update/revise the symlink setup by updates to a single package. I think it is a good idea. Something like 'tde-tdesymlinks' or 'trinity-tdesymlinks' sounds like a reasonable name.
