Wow -- I'm very impressed.
As an aside (and don't get me wrong, I think BerliOS is very good),
maybe you could put it on Alioth (alioth.debian.org)? I definitely think
this is something that, when finished, should end up in Debian proper.
The KDE team in particular might be interested...

Doesn't sound silly, little, or like a waste of time to me. GUI
programming with Qt and dealing with apt etc -- I don't get the
impression that these things are easy, so like I said before, I am very
impressed. Do keep us updated with your progress! (And sorry, I'm not a
Qt or python girl, so it's not the project for me, but I think it's
awesome anyway. :))
