IMO the problem is: make dist and make distcheck does not work with the KDE
autotools. This is not the same as if you write your own Makefiles and
configure. IMO the KDE templates does not support this options.

My fault ... to much time porting K/Powersave to Fedora. I think we need a lsb
name for this init script. IMO we should use dbus. I write a mail to LANANA
and the dbus ML. Btw.: fixed in SVN.
I remove the tag for v0.6.2 again from SVN and add this changes to the
upcomming update relase.
Thanks for the report. Cheers,
Danny
