Ok, I'll do that.

I am using links, I just blindly accepted this change without checking
to see what it was, it was my fault, normally I test stuff in
openSUSE:Tumbleweed:Testing first, but that is being used for the big
KDE 4.8 update at the moment, and I thought this was a minor bugfix.

Again, it's really my fault, but in the end, I need to know the Prefer:
line anyway :)

Ok, if I run into further problems like this, I'll watch the project
configuration to see if that's the needed resolution.
