I don't agree. You seem to first take for granted that a user of the
KDE desktop also uses all the applications and second you mistake
"good to have" for "must have". I'm using KDE but only few KDE
applications - so why do I need a handbook for kppp or knode or kmail
when I don't even install these applications?
I agree, and that's why I said "each component should requires its
handbook", meaning kdebase4-workspace requires
kdebase4-workspace-handbooks, kmail requires kmail-handbook, ...
Currently, each component suggests its handbook (needed for LiveCD).
If we use only suggests for handbooks, the handbooks are missing on
DVD iso (because DVD iso doesn't include suggests), so that handbooks
are never installed with a DVD install, and all the kde docs will be
missing by default.
For now, I don't have a perfect solution to this problem.
To workaround this, I added a task-kde4-handbooks that REQUIRES the
handbooks for kde's components that are installed by a default mageia
kde install. I know that it's not perfect.
I'm open to a better solution, but I really want to avoid that the
handbooks are not installed on most of mageia's install.

A suggestion from a non-kde user.
Why not put task-kde4-handbooks on the dvd, but not have it required by
kde ?
That way, selecting kde (without selecting task-kde4-handbooks) won't
pull in all handbooks, only those required by the kde packages actually
installed.
