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?
