Well, the idea behind the packages is to test them and ready them for inclusion in the archive. If the archive will contain the old dbus/hal, then we should build and test against them. Besides, building against the new dbus/hal is not a small matter - the package names have changed, and so updating to experimental dbus/hal means that users will not be able to drop back down to unstable kdebase packages without major package removal/reinstallation. Besides rebuilding kdebase, we'd have to rebuild k3b, since it also uses the old dbus/hal in unstable. That said, feel free to rebuild kdebase yourself, and let us know if there are major issues (since we'll have to deal with them eventually anyway). Cheers, Christopher Martin
