Yep, Fink updating a package which breaks the installer is a risk. It's one of 
the things on the list of "problems to think about before starting the code 
work". And I don't have to be very honest to think Benjamin will agree that the 
problems he listed are no more than things to think about, not showstoppers; 
checking if I've thought about it and it's not just a useless mindspin.

I've been a maintainer and packager for Fink for a while now, learning more 
about how it works in a broad sense. However eventhough Benjamin is way more 
experienced than I am, and he and I are on good terms, his word is not the only 
word worth listening to. We are both human and the only way to figure this out 
is to try it.

I will research this further, and any breakthrough I will tell you about. I 
would be grateful if you could keep me or this list up-to-date with your CPack 
progress. I'm sure together we can make KDE a much more pleasant experience on 
the Mac.
