A few days ago, I sent the following to Ralf Nolden -- I probably should have sent it to the list, instead: > 1.

Maybe he or someone else addressed the first problem with an update and the second with a band-aid? In any case, is a directory re-org of that sort feasible? On a more general note, I get the impression that the woody port of KDE-3 is neither widely used nor thoroughly maintained, and I suspect a chicken-and-egg problem. Can I induce a maintainer to try harder to break that cycle? I'm happy to throw some money at the problem if it will help. (I believe that having a reliable, easy-to-install, current port of KDE for the stable version of Debian is valuable to both projects.) --Jeff
