It's a little ugly, I agree ;) . But I guess the meaning of this all is
to move /usr/bin/kdepasswd and some other files to kdebase. This way I
can keep kdeutils around. If I remove kdeutils right now I guess
/usr/bin/kdepasswd might go missing ;-) .

It's cleaner, I agree... But a kde without kdeutils is a bit less
useful.

Yup, but different issue.

kdeutils deprecated? I don't think so. All this seems to be caused by
the desire to have kdepasswd in base without properly removing it from
utils.
