Sure it's worth the effort, we'll be switching to Plasma 5 as default
in a future release and we want to be ready at the time.

We plan for a separate ISO which will be called Kubuntu Plasma 5 Remix
or Kubuntu Plasma 5 Tech Preview or similar.  If it's practical to do
with a PPA then we'll get it built using a PPA as well which means
less issues renaming packages to make them co-exist in the archive.
