[Bug 710968] [NEW] separate akonadi-dependant plugins into another package

[Nick Shaforostoff]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

Currently (KDE 4.6 maverick packports, but in natty its the same) i
cannot uninstall akonadi-server w/o also uninstalling plasma-desktop
and/or plasma-netbook, which means if i want to run KDE, i _have_ to
also run akonadi.

I'm running kubuntu on a netbook with 1gb ram, and akonadi-related
processes (including special instance of mysql server) take up to 80
megs of ram, which i could use otherwise for kdevelop (I'm KDE
developer) or other apps like gimp, firefox, etc.

I don't need akonadi (i'm fine with using webmail on a netbook) on such
low-end system, but 'sudo apt-get purge akonadi-server' wants also to
remove kde-window-manager* kdebase-workspace* kdebase-workspace-bin*
plasma-dataengines-workspace* plasma-desktop* plasma-netbook* plasma-
widgets-addons* plasma-widgets-workspace*

This happens because plasma-netbook depends on plasma-widgets-workspace,
and plasma-widgets-workspace depends on akonadi-server.

I _can_ uninstall akonadi-server in opensuse 10.4 (to be), so it is 100%
possible, plasma-netbook continues to be usable after i killall all
akonadi-related processeson my netbook.

So please pretty please separate the package into akonadi-dependant and
akonadi-independant parts, so that plasma-netbook could hard-depend on
the second one, and recommend the first one, and default installation of
akonadi would still be handled by kubuntu-desktop metapackage
