If the application is named opensuseupdater, you should also name the 
package this way IMHO.

Short package names might be nice, but long (and understandable) package 
names are better. And the package name opensuseupdater-kde isn't really 
long (19 chars) compared to the top 3 packages installed on my system:
OpenOffice_org-templates-presentation-layouts   (45 chars)
OpenOffice_org-templates-labels-letter  (38 chars)
OpenOffice_org-templates-labels-a4   (34 chars)

Oh, yast2-online-update-frontend (28 chars) isn't really short 
either ;-)

Sidenote: Currently, the (KDE) binary is called opensuseupdater, but the 
package is named opensuse-updater. Please fix this also if/while 
renaming the package.

I really like this decision - and would have liked it even more if it 
was done before the 10.1 release *g,d&r*

looks like you have some special code in yast for password "x", maybe I
should use the even more secure new password "y" in the future  ?! ;-)
