It is my understanding that KDE 4.5 will let you choose different
backends.

Did you do any research as to what the longer-term implications
of foregoing this might be? I am not saying there are any, I
honestly don't know.

Personally, I would like to see such a warning, but I am not sure if
that is acceptable by Debian's standards. apt-listchanges exists for
a reason.

Seems like the best bet to me. If need be, the file size could be adapted
automagically. But that functionality would be in 4.5 at the earliest unless
it's patched downstream.

Having only two users per machine and a huge /home anyway, I did not
notice this, but I agree that this is an issue that should be addressed.
Also, what about /root?
