The various build issues are not coming any closer to being resolved. Or
at least don't look that way to me. The incompetent buildd admins are
still around and still have not retried builds they should never have
failed in the first place (all the g++ related ones). I posted a new
update for KDE 3.1.5 to debian-qt-kde today. Also Martin's packaging of
qt-x11-free is causing numerous problems with getting things built. I may
NMU/hijack qt-x11-free myself if he doesn't fix the packaging issues soon.

The lm-sensors problem with kdebase is minor compared to all the other
problems KDE has currently, but yes once the other problems are resolved
if lm-sensors is still an issue I will upload a version of kdebase with
no dependency on lm-sensors.
