I'm not sure what you mean by "prefix".  If you're referring to ./configure 
--prefix, isn't that up to each developer?  Or perhaps you mean installing 
the components into an app-specific subdirectory?  Unfortunately, the 
obsolete component is a KCM module, so doing that is a bit problematic.

Fortunately, we aren't far enough along to have a package distro yet.

I'll just put a note into the ChangeLog for now.
