Ah, wonderful. For me (v) over the last 4.5 months has occasionally led

s case having a sarge Qt that's not broken

FWIW, I was proposing this just for koffice (which has an unusually large

Ah, okay, I wasn't entirely clear on the kde-i18n-lang option. What I
meant by this is that kde-i18n-lang would be updated for both KDE and
KOffice releases, and would include code taken from both branches as
appropriate. e.g., when KOffice 1.3 is released, even though KDE 3.1.2
stays the same,
