+ KDE3-LEGACY BRANCH
+====================
+
+This branch is intended to keep a bare minimum kdelibs4 / kdebase-runtime to support kde3-based apps when KDE4 enters unstable. This may enter squeeze if needed or removed when most of kde3 apps are ported to kde4 and we nuke the unmaintained ones.
+
+Design decisions :
+------------------
+  - nuke arts as it's unmaintained for years and almost all apps can work without
+  - features should be stipped down to those needed by packages in the debian archive
+
+Packages provided by kdelibs/lenny :
+------------------------------------
+  - kdelibs4c2a  : kept
+  - kdelibs4-dev : kept, conflicts with kdelibs5-dev
+  - kdelibs-data : kept
+  - kdelibs4-doc : I'd like to nuke this, it contains apidocs
+
+Packages provided by kdebase/lenny :
+------------------------------------
+To keep :
+  - kcontrol
+  - kdebase-kio-plugins
+  - kdebase-data
+  - kdebase-dev
+  - kdeprint
+
+Issues pending :
+  - khelpcenter (need to patch khelpcenter4)
+  - kate (needed by kscope)
+  - kdebase-bin and kdebase-bin-kde3 (what is still needed in them ?)
+
+Should we nuke ?
+  - kdebase-doc (apidocs)
+  - libkonq4 and libkonq4-dev
+
+Nuked (replaced by kde4 equivalents) :
+  - kappfinder
+  - kdeeject
+  - kdepasswd
+  - kdesktop
+  - kdm
+  - kfind
+  - kicker
+  - klipper
+  - kmenuedit
+  - konqueror
+  - konqueror-nsplugins
+  - konsole
+  - kpager
+  - kpersonalizer
+  - ksmserver
+  - ksplash
+  - ksysguardd
+  - ksysguard
+  - ktip
+  - kwin
