Would Debian accept such a patch? Upstream will not apply it to the 4.4.x
line.
Upstream is already in the process of getting this done for the 4.5 release.
What about shipping KDEPIM 4.3.x? It works fine with KDEBASE 4.4.x.
Also, what happened to freezing when appropriate ("when it's done")? Stable
users don't want a half-baked OS.
Okay, ending this email here, because thinking about a stable Debian that
includes KDEPIM 4.4 angers and saddens me.
