Not at all. Any scripts can be utilized by the user (or by the third

desktop won't start'. That is the least part of the problem. The worse
part is that you put user into uncertain state when his environment is
not starting and he must debug it for himself. Seems 'a bit'
unfriendly.
About that bug what exactly is incomprehensible? I will compose regex
later if I'll want to (if you'll not want to fix it) or at least
submit bug report.
I would
strongly recommend after
renaming such scripts as startkde to
create symlinks to old names or at least ask user in
postinst to make such links!
I'm not in favor of that kind of complicated layer. Change is a part of free/libre
software.
The starttde script is a secondary layer in the session startup process that users
don't really see. The xinitrc and Xsession scripts handle starttde. Of all the
renaming, the only ones I think might trip a few people are tdesu and tdm.
