We have until now wanted that we were controlling the arguments that kde is 
built with (what we have in variables.mk)
I'm not really scared of you, the cdbs maintainers, but I do sometime hope 
that you would act a bit faster on reports.

So far, I have tried to avoid entering the cdbs dirspace - and pushing it into 
cdbs would also require cdbs to add a dependency on pkg-kde-tools, as we still 
have our variables.mk that sets the configuration variables.
And that directory is also already filled with a file called kde.mk that does 
some quite different.

Ubuntu is heading towards pkg-kde-tools for their fall release, I think.
That way, they can "fork" that package and use pure debian sources for most of 
other things.

I'm not sure how to proper integrate pkg-kde-tools into cdbs and still offer 
the default compilation variables to people not using cdbs, for those who 
needs that.

And we do also have in pkg-kde-tools our "secret" extra snippets.

The point is that you should boot the ethernet FPU in order to turn off a ROM 
mouse on the case.
