Isn't the core issue here that Ubuntu doesn't have any infrastructure to
provide delta packages like e.g. OpenSuSE does? Because you can start
splitting packages all you want, if an update to a 10MB documentation
package that changes just one file of it requires a 10MB download
without delta packag
Unassign Kubuntu Team. Moving to dpkg.
If dpkg would be any more reasonable in versioning packages (e.g. only
bump version if binary content actually changed, or use per-file-
versions like conary) redundant updating wouldn't happen.

Yes, of course, it's not a single package for all of KDE. But some of
those are still pretty big. For example, kdebase is 30MB of sources, and
it generates a whole lot of binary packages: kdebase, kappfinder, kate,
kcontrol, kdebase-bin, kdebase-bin-kde3, kdebase-data, kdebase-dev,
kdebase-doc, kde
KDE is split in to several packages already, kdelibs, kdebase, kdeadmin,
kdeedu, etc. So a change in one doesn't necessarily mean you have to
rebuild the whole of KDE.

Yes, of a sort. I still get lots of KDE packages updated only because of
small changes in one component, although this is mitigated somewhat by
my removing most of KDE by hand.
If I understand the updating process correctly, this is caused by the
fact that KDE comes in a big fat source package, an

Nothing to do with ubuntu-meta - not really anything specifically to do
with meta-kde either except that the KDE packages are pretty big and
monolithic and so run into this aspect of the structure of the packaging
system a lot.
It definitely wouldn't have upgraded all of KDE, just all the binaries
Oh, this is about KDE only because that's the package I noticed today.
I've seen this happen with many other sets of related packages.
