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.
