Since the issue's been raised, I've nothing against this proposal. We want to
counter the possible future problem of other packages following kde's lead
and supporting multiple versions in separate directories, because many
directories under /usr really is messy.
E.g., create a /usr/packages and put qt, kde and anything else there
(/usr/packages/kde/3.2; ...). Who wants to take this proposal to the FHS
people? :-)
