The rumor on IRC was that there is a license problem that holds kdenetwork getting into Debian.
What are these license problems, I have no idea. To my knowledge, Chris Cheney has not posted on kde-policies or on any kde mailing lists on this topic. Sadly, it is not the first time that Chris Cheney has been incapable of communicating, cooperating with others and creating a team spirit. We still don't have a proper web site, Karolina's hard work is more or less wasted, progress on the Debian desktop initiative has been null and the prospect of a simple kde metapackage for easy installation for newbies seems a farfetched dream. A good maintainer for KDE in Debian should not only have good technical skills but be able to manage a team of fellows packagers, communicate to the users and power users for feedback, delegates some tasks. Ralf Nolden is good at it, Ivan Moore was good at it. Chris is much younger and don't have this experience, maybe he can learn. Indeed, if he wants to have a successfull career in IT after University, learning to be a good team manager should be his priority as it looks like it is its main weakness.
