If you go with c), please make sure that the "base" of the tarball
called something different. Not just version wise, but also the base
part of it.

I think most distributions can't handle having two tarballs with same
"name" but different versions.

I think if I got offered b), I'd implement a) myself by creating an
extra copy.

I guess c) ensures no more bugfixes to the kf5 version. 

I think I lean towards a).
