My guess is that most of these bugs will fix themselves once 2.9 is
packaged. I think there were some attempts to fix these before, but the
package was rejected by the ftpmasters on copyright grounds - so they'll
need to be some work to sort that out.

However since Krita is now separate, I think it should be packaged
separately in its own source package. Krita also forked calligra-libs so
they'll be some code duplication, but I don't see any way around that.
The new Krita package could then ignore the bugs that don't apply to it
anymore.

I was thinking about helping packaging Krita, but I haven't found the
time as of yet.
