the ebuild for kde-base/kdeadmin tries to disable compilation for kpackage and ksysv, but fails.

KPackage supports Gentoo in between, so it does make sense to keep it. Iirc there's another bug about this issue.
It's true that kpackage support for Gentoo. Do you think that it should be enabled for 3.3.{1,2}, or it's better to wait until it has improved a bit (3.4?) to avoid users breaking their system with it?
Chicken + egg thing - if we remove it, no one tests it. Also I don't know, if app-portage/{ken,gui}too ever where much tested. I don't use any of them. At least kentoo is marked stable by ppc* herds. I don't really understand this, since maintainer arch should go stable first from my pov, but arch herd members often don't think so...
Dan, do you plan to commit the meta ebuilds for 3.3.2?
Should be ok in 3.4.
