I'm obviously a supporter of Fink, being one of the core maintainers
and all, but I think trying to package fink with a frontend would be a
nightmare. First, what do you do with people with existing Fink
installs? Upgrade their dependent binaries with new debs,
potentially? Make the KDE packages in somewhere other than /sw?
I'd rather work on making CPack Do The Right Thing for all of KDE out
of the box, which benefits other platforms as well.
