We had this in 7.2, but we got bad feedback, since the user must click too
much and can not really know where the different is (There were some lines
of explaination, but nobody seemed to read it)

Okay, this could be a solution for comming releases. A class install to
install packages could be used in several points in KDE (for example to
install the lisa daemon via the kcontrol modul). So we could build
something where the distributors can bind to a package via a config file,
if it is not installed it can start an application X which
downloads/install the package. But this can not be finished until feature
freeze of KDE 3, sorry.
