You can not add a new dependency for KDE 4.4 the day before the release without \
testing. I consider it a new feature which is not allowed since ages. for KDE 4.5 \
I've planned to add it to the release schedule explicitly to make it even more clear. \
It is too late in the cycle for 4.4 to change this dependency. Really. Some packagers \
can not add a new dependency to their repository in one day and have prepared the KDE \
4.4 packaging based on the 4.4 release candidates we have given them. Please don't do \
this.

+1
Unacceptable imho.

Distro's who have provided RC's to their users are now more or less obliged to run \
that script. Virtuoso was made a hard dependency (at least for anyone compiling \
kdepim) so all svn users also need to update. 

Best,
