I second this and have been puzzled as to why kdebase doesn't depend on kdm...
there is probably a (historical?) reason for that, but it might be worthwhile
to reconsider adding that dependency...
This is the only relevant message I found about kdebase depending on kdm by
quick googling:

If you have any pointers to other discussions etc. about the matter, please
let me know...
