So far the list includes - Dolphin, KDE-pim and Telepathy (kinda) > I would suggest to create two repostories. One "nepomuk-core" containing the dependencies of kdelibs (respectively nepomuks core libraries), and another one "nepomuk2" containing the dms and possibly other stuff which depends on kdelibs (and in the future the required parts of kf5). That would give you clean dependencies without copies of code, which I think would be rather ugly (assuming that the "missing gui code" would be a copy of kdelibs code). I don't see any problem with applications having to depend on nepomuk libraries when they're using it. In contrary I would welcome repositories which keep dependencies low, as that opens new possibilities, such as using the same libraries in a server environment where you don't want to pull in everything including X11.
