I became aware after I had built kbanking, also I wasn't aware how soon the 
aqbanking direct support for kbanking was going to be, so I uploaded 
kbanking.

It actually still works and I have had reports that kmymoney2 supports HBCI 
with kbanking and aqbanking as seperate packages, but I agree they should be 
provided from aqbanking now.

My one query is Does kmymoney2 build with kbanking from aqbanking? Do you have 
some test debs I can look into?

Agreed.

I am happy for libaqbanking to provide libkbanking1, provided kmymoney2 will 
build.

I'm unsure if you will need to use some special Replaces: Conflicts: headers 
because we are effectivly merging two upstream sources.

I wasn't aware of this problem.  I see that kmymoney2 is being removed from 
testing today :-(

When you upload aqbanking with kbanking, I'll upload kmymoney2 with kbanking 
support!
