I would be willing to do some packaging and to contribute, but I'm afraid to be not of very much help, as I have never done that (besides of building debs for my one. I know there is a lot of information about packaging on the net, but I currently don't have the time either). I didn't want to push anybody to do the packaging, but was just wandering about the policy to only include official kde4 modules. Time is a very good reason not to include much more, especially as there is a lot do in packaging kde-stuff for you folks, I assume.

I see. Hope that with the release of KDE 4.2 they might migrate to testing.
Thanks,
