With all gratitude for Karolina's work, as the formal debian maintainer for 
some of these KDE modules I'd be very happy if (i) I could have some control 
over what is uploaded when, i.e., upload my own packages or at least be in 
personal dialogue with someone else who's uploading them, and (ii) if the 
packages uploaded to debian.org used my own packaging (with help from others 
of course) and not forked versions which (last time I looked) were 
non-trivially different.

Read:  I'd probably get a bit grumpy if some other DD uploaded a major new 
upstream version to debian.org with code that differs noticeably from my own 
packaging (which is available on KDE CVS) "within hours" of warning that this 
were going to happen. :)

Not to be overly protective of "my" packages, but I'd like a little more 
involvement in the process than Mark proposes. :)

Of course this is all moot anyway since what I upload at what time will pretty 
much depend on what Chris does with kdelibs/kdebase/etc. :)

Ben.
