I fully agree on that. I don't think it's needed. It's mostly a marketing 
problem, users don't care if the developement happens in the same svn or not.

An other solution is to presplit the tarball ourself :
- KDE Office Library
- KDE Office Productivity (roughly the equivalent of MSO, OOo, iWorks)
- KDE Office Creativity (Karbon14 + Krita)

Or replace Office with a better keyword. I think that keeping a common name 
other than KDE is good branding practise to indicate that if you use both 
suits together you get an improved user experience. After all it's the key 
idea behind Adobe's Creative Suit, even if each applications is sold 
together.
