   It seems like there can be no strong correlation between these 
applications that would be in the new package.  Why not just package these 
things separately?  I don't want to have to install KVirtualBarbieCollector 
in order to get KCookBook.  I see a difference between a collection of small 
screen toys (kdetoys) and full apps.  I'm not saying that I don't want to see 
KCookBook or other apps distributed with KDE though.  I'm actually quite 
curious about KCookBook.  I'm just saying that it might be better to allow 
fine-grained installation of these apps.

   As an alternative, they could, I guess, be put into a single module and 
then hopefully have the packagers make separate packages for each app inside.
