Actually yes, thank you Jason. That is what I meant. 
For example, it is possible in debian and rpm packaging to build more than 
package out of a tarball using one build script and it is relatively easy to 
do that especially using debian packaging as long you know what file each 
package contains. 
Is that possible with a PKGBUILD because that would really help with the KDE 
case?
