I just wanted to point out the the short description of kdebase is
"KDE Base Metapackage." With a description like that, I would expect
to get all of kdebase, and kdm does live under kdebase in the the
source tree. Perhaps there is some slightly better terminology that
can be used? (I'd offer something if I could think if it. :)

This sounds like a reasonable solution.

In 1997 a group of programmers started writing a desktop environment
to fix a travesty they didn't create. Their program promptly found
its way onto un*x systems everywhere. Today, still opposed by a
software monopolist, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you share
their vision, if you know you can help, and if you can connect to
internet, maybe you can join... the K-Team.
