Well, as said - considered that you can use it as a single app as well I think 
it's the best to ship it as a separate package (which has the nice 
side-effect that it can be easier shipped for backports by just excluding the 
package if 4.3 is not in sarge).

The thing is that

a) you need to maintain an extra kcontrol.install file for that
b) krandr is also available as an application to rotate the screen that 
additionally can be configured with a kcontrol module (similar to krfb)

So I suggest putting it into an extra package for now.

Probably doesn't need to be a separate package since XFree86 4.3 will
probably be in sid in the next month or so. Last I heard Branden was
still trying to get it in before sarge release.

I currently have my randr related files in the kcontrol.install .  Don't see 
why they should be treated any different from say the kfontinst stuff ... or 
do you think it would be better as an optional package in kdebase once xfree 
4.3 comes around?
