Yes, according to http://tinyurl.com/feg8l it has been tagged with 
KDE_3_0_RELEASE

That would be pretty stupid, as it is not a development related tool but 
rather meant to be used in KDE related shell scripts or similar, often used 
by system administrators.

At least nowadays it is also used in the KDE startup script startkde, so 
kdebase would depend on a devel package which I find pretty unlikely.
