Bug#717208: please move pkgkde-symbolshelper out of pkg-kde-tools
Package: pkg-kde-tools
Version: 0.15.7
Severity: important
As long as #533916 is not resolved, please split out pkgkde-symbolshelper into
it's own package, which doesn't depend on any kde stuff.
Even packages not having to do anything with kde use this utiltiy, but then need
to depend on the whole of KDE to be built first. Now you could just try to
remove that dependency, but then you have to edit the symbols files to reflect
that change. I'm choosing severity important, because it's a pain to bootstrap
a new architecture, and having to modify symbols files in a lot of packages just
for that.
