Speaking as a user, I really dislike the KDE practice of packaging
applications in bundles. The package manager (yum or apt-get or similar)
should handle dependencies, for everything else, individual applications (or
application suites, like KOffice) should get individual packages. If I want to
install Konsole, I should be able to "apt-get install Konsole" rather than
"apt-get install bundle-of-17-apps-I-don't-want-and-1-I-do".
