Using the current information we came up with following options:
1) dump the patches
2) don't build ruby/smoke with plasma bindings (that is assuming there are no 
other workspace dependencies, which I am not sure about)
3) add the necessary patches to get all the kdebase-workspace deps moved from 
bindings to workspace (according to upstream changes in KDE trunk)
4) debundle the python stuff from kdebase-workspace into a sepearte source 
package
5) leave it alone

With the following disadvantages:
1) the seperate examples package would end up empty + user confusing because of 
disappearing features
2) disappearing features again
3) difficult to do + not very regression-save
4) the python bindings would need a new package and apt-get update doesn't 
install new packages automagically, so we would have to communicate the need 
for dist-upgrade, which is kind of difficult considering libplasma is one of 
the most essential parts of the KDE 4 desktop, not making libplasma depend on 
teh python bindings would again be disappearing features
5) no LPIA and HPPA builds (although mobile stuff is only getting upstream 
attention in 4.2 and we still didn't hear of any HPPA KDE users)
