The problem is that the KDE SIG simply doesn't have enough manpower to
do that. They package KDE the way upstream releases it, in the big kde*
subpackages. Other distros have subpackages for KDE apps, but that's
simply not possible for the KDE SIG.

Of course I am not a member of the KDE SIG so I can only tell you what I
heard and read in other replies to similar subjects. It has been
discussed on a list sometimes if I remember correctly.
