Package: kshutdown
Version: 2.0~beta6-2
Severity: serious

Hi!

First of all, thank you for updating kshutdown to a edition based on the
libraries from KDE 4.

I have just seen you have migrated to use pkg-kde-tools, which is a good
thing to do but, unfortunately without reading its documentation.

To quote some of it:
| $ cat /usr/share/pkg-kde-tools/qt-kde-team/README
| Makefile snippets and scripts found in this directory and its subdirectories
| are for use with official KDE or kdesupport packages maintained by Debian
| Qt/KDE Maintainers team ONLY. Compatibility of any kind is not guaranteed and
| may be broken at any time without any notice.
| 
| Maintainers of other software based on KDE 4 should consider using makefile
| snippets available under /usr/share/pkg-kde-tools/makefiles/. Please read
| /usr/share/doc/pkg-kde-tools/README.Debian for more information.

Please migrate your package to /usr/share/pkg-kde-tools/makefiles/1/cdbs/kde.mk 
as this is expected to be fully stable and meant to be used outside KDE
itself.
The includes you are using in kshutdown has no what so ever stability
guarantee and is only provided for internal use of the Debian KDE team.

And I guess we in KDE team should reconsider making builds fail if
Maintainer field is not 
"Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers <debian-qt-...@lists.debian.org>". If/when we
implement this change, your package will fail to build from source.
