I think kpackage really requires kdeadmin, see my answer to the bug report.

I think the reason to split out kpackage was to make rpmdrake the
default installer for most people. This makes sense, as kpackage
doesn't have the Mandrake specific features rpmdrake has. It is a
support nightmare if thousands of KDE freaks cannot figure out how to
install a complex app that needs dozens of dependancies using kpackage.
