I just recently adopted KTP in the AUR and am having trouble with this
change. Is it really necessary to introduce superfluous envvars (I don't
think any KDE packages in Arch are shipping /etc/profile entries for
anything at all, and I don't think anyone is going to propose pushing
AG_PROVIDERS and AG_SERVICES into startkde), which means I'd have to add
/etc/profile/kaccounts-integration.sh to support these envvars. It seems
like Ubuntu should just be making kaccounts-integration and their
account-pluigins packages conflict one another. The two providers that
are common between them (twitter and google) are identical.

I'm not sure in what use case a provider or service file for accounts-
sso will be desktop specific. Is there a reason they are not in an
upstream accounts-sso project? I read all the ones Canonical provides
and all the ones KDE had in the old ktp-accounts-kcm package and besides
translation names I'm not seeing whats unique.

Speaking of ktp-accounts-kcm, all those provider files were prefixed
with ktp-*. Maybe that would be a better answer here - just prefix KDE
providers with kde-google.provider, etc? There are only three of them
right now anyway, though now that I'm here I'm looking to port over /
add more, because I'd love to get libpurple-matrix support in KTP.

I'd have no problems poking the accounts-sso or Launchpad team behind
account-plugins for a better solution to this. From my understanding the
design of accounts-sso is entirely so that different packages could put
different providers in share/accounts/providers and have them show up in
clients like kaccounts.
