Right, but packagers don't have to care where the CVS is -- packagers will
deal with the released TagLib tarball or the released amaroK tarball
respectively. There isn't a kdeextragear-3.2.tar.gz that they're having to
rebuild multiple times. They'll build TagLib before kdemultimedia and
amaroK.
The loop that you mention only affects people building CVS -- i.e. not
(generally speaking) packagers or end users. I readily admit that it's an
annoyance, but not one that affects packagers.

Quoting from http://extragear.kde.org/home/about.php --
"All applications in the Extra Gear will be released independently from each
other, there will never be such thing as a Extra Gear package. There is a
certain release process for applications in the Extra Gear."
That's what I was referring to. I'm not sure which strict rules you're
referring to and again, I agree that it's not a great fit, but better than
the other options...

Yeah, I know -- but somehow "closer" to a good fit...

Sounds good to me. Any objections to such?
