i completely understand your point, i'm not saying these are packaging mistakes at all.
but for something qt, it doesn't make much sense to have gnome-keyring code, except for when there would be kwallet and gnome-keyring plugins. 1. this more that xscreensaver requires chbg (does kscreensaver use this part? if not, maybe xscreensaver can be packaged separately), or chbg requires gtk+ code (maybe recode would be better to be gtk/qt independant) 6. about gwenview, does it actually use these kipi-plugins all the time? does it use all of them, or just some kipi-plugins (if they are available). if latter, it might be better to suggest the specific ones alone, instead of all of them. 2, i understand for skype, but it's quite the dirty solution, perhaps a getter with requirements is better than just having everyone installing 32deps... this indeed is a list of links that exist that i found odd, since they could be more abstract written and thus not directly link to each other.
